    Tell us about a GOOD day at work!

    Hygiene Queen replied to greenbeanio's topic in Psychiatric

    I know the question wasn't directed at me, but we do

    Am I in violation of code of ethics?

    Hygiene Queen replied to Nursey916's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    My job is exactly like yours, and whether there is "very little clinical work" or not has absolutely nothing to do with it. In fact, I would argue that you would be more useful to your clients if you...

    Need some "there there"s and "you can do this"

    Hygiene Queen replied to klone's topic in Western Governors University

    Dang it, Klone! Don't lose sight of what you're trying to achieve! How can you ever get your face on the hospital funny money and have pancakes with the staff if you don't trudge on:...

    Am I in violation of code of ethics?

    Hygiene Queen replied to Nursey916's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I work in an adult daycare too. We have social worker to assist our clients. Do you have one? I know you care, but you are crossing so many boundaries. Does your facility know you're doing all of...

    Thanks for the support and opposition

    Hygiene Queen replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

    That is beautiful! *sniff sniff* You should sell that line to Hallmark for Nurse's Week... Or maybe it can be written in a curley-cue font throughout a cute pattern of cartoon kittens on a scrub...

    I was reported for something I didnt actually do. Help.

    Hygiene Queen replied to LisaF0115's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    My CNA instructor made us sit in a wheelchair while tied in a posey vest in an empty room for several hours. This was to see what it felt like to be restrained and forgotten... and it was...

    Medication Error

    Hygiene Queen replied to RN1485's topic in Psychiatric

    I'm sorry that happened! You owned up to it and learned that you just need to check things for yourself. That is exactly how I made my first med error. I was told to give a patient a PRN benzo and...

    Tell us about a GOOD day at work!

    Hygiene Queen replied to greenbeanio's topic in Psychiatric

    No admissions. The best staff. Every patient was well behaved and presented no problems. Not a glitch. Everything was stocked, cleaned and ohhh... did those patients really get a lot of attention!...

    Leaving an epidural catheter in

    Hygiene Queen replied to Jessthemess's topic in General Nursing

    By the time you get an answer from a nurse (maybe) here, you will have either wasted precious time or you will have made a mistake. You need to know where to check protocols or speak up at the time...

    96 year old refuse treatment

    Hygiene Queen replied to Vtachy1's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    So, those people who feel treatment should be done, regardless of how the pt feels... How do they suppose to give this treatment to a person who doesn't want it? My fear is someone will cite her age...

    From CNA to RN

    Hygiene Queen replied to lucychavezreyes's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Personally, I found it helpful to be a CNA before becoming a nurse. It made nursing clinicals a little easier because I was already comfortable with patient interaction, basic patient care,...

    Spinoff From "Don't Be That Nurse"

    Hygiene Queen replied to mirandaaa's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Actually, I do it myself all the time. My favorite part of nursing is the hands-on personal care. I do it myself whenever I can and I am happy to do so. In fact, this is why I was called The Hygiene...

    Spinoff From "Don't Be That Nurse"

    Hygiene Queen replied to mirandaaa's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    So many nurses have driven on both sides of the street, but some CNA's-- who have only driven down the one side-- insist they are kings of the whole damn

    Give an example of a difficult decision you've made

    Hygiene Queen replied to j0yegan's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I think the responses would be interesting, actually, but I think OP worded the question in such a way, it really does sound like homework, so everyone got set off by it. OP is already a nurse. Note:...

    FLAME ON!

    Hygiene Queen replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    Ooooh, now we can bust on you for stepping on a vent

    FLAME ON!

    Hygiene Queen replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    Any topic that turns into a ADN vs BSN war. People who take offense at everything. Dude, if you don't do what we're complaining about, don't worry about it. We aren't talking about you then, are...

    Lazy nurses

    Hygiene Queen replied to Future FNP 14's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Are you in school to be a nurse? If you become a nurse someday, you may become rather embarrassed by your post. You have absolutely no

    Long hair unrestrained at work

    Hygiene Queen replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Noooooooooo... that wasn't me!!! But no one could accuse me in taking the high road in that thread

    Long hair unrestrained at work

    Hygiene Queen replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Ohhhhh...The Great Gum Debate... I don't remember which thread about gum it was (there have been a few!) but it got ridiculous... and I was no innocent bystander in how ridiculous it got I'm picky...

    Security guards

    Hygiene Queen replied to studentnurse9806's topic in Psychiatric

    I agree. In those times wherein we have to put our hands on a pt, take them to seclusion and restrain them, it's our own staff that does it. We are also trained in these "take down" techniques. I wish...

    Security guards

    Hygiene Queen replied to studentnurse9806's topic in Psychiatric

    We have none. If we have a code, available staff from other units respond. Everyone is required to be trained in

    Seriously fed up.

    Hygiene Queen replied to Rocktheman's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    When I first became an aide, I dealt with some aides who just loved to tear a newbie down in the rudest way possible. Some of what they said may have been true but the delivery of their message was...
