    AIDS during the 80s

    Hygiene Queen replied to Irish_Mist's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I do not know how you restrained yourself from laying into that dietary aide... or did you? Just leaving someone's food on the floor like they were a dog... Somehow, this got me angrier than anything...

    Military Time

    Hygiene Queen replied to krm7's topic in General Students

    Once you go military time, you never go back! You just wait after you've used it a couple of years... My husband: "I'll be there to pick you up at 1800." Me: "Honey, I can't be ready that quick....

    Pet Peeve

    Hygiene Queen replied to SleeepyRN's topic in Patient Medications

    If I know you have done everything they could to redirect or soothe a pt then I will certainly get a PRN. If you just come up to me and have make no effort at all to connect or engage the pt, then I...

    Gero psychs

    Hygiene Queen replied to Sassy5d's topic in Emergency

    It does seem that the nursing homes do not pursue other avenues before declaring the need for a psych admit. Maybe if they did, indeed, work on better pain control (in this case) maybe they would find...

    Why did you become nurses?

    Hygiene Queen replied to rupertmichaes's topic in General Nursing

    You sound a bit insulting. I'm sure your mother is a wonderful nurse, but if her place of employment stopped giving her a paycheck, would she still come into work? You cannot assume that someone who...

    Hmmm... my daughter gave me her Jonas Brothers pencil. This was a while ago, okay? :sarcastic:I found it amusing, but some people thought I was... weird. I'm not sure how lucky it was but I had to use...

    Hygiene Queen replied to efda2rn's topic in General Students

    I didn't even notice the date on the article! I was so blown away by how stupid this lady was for using her own phone. Sheesh, at least steal someone else's or something!

    Hygiene Queen replied to efda2rn's topic in General Students

    Oh, yes indeedy! Let me use my own phone to call in this here bomb threat. Anyhoo, I look for any postings from her on AN: "It's so unfair! I think my school is being mean not letting me come back! It...

    Fundamentals instructor doesn't teach.

    Hygiene Queen replied to Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B's topic in General Students

    Paying attention to details in an online post is nothing like paying attention to detail in a real life wherein someone's welfare is actually in your hands. I think you're being a wee bit

    Hygiene Queen replied to StopnSmelltheRoses's topic in Psychiatric

    I'm fascinated by personality disorders, I love observing people and I love medication teaching. I do work on a very challenging unit (geri-psych) but it's good combination of psych and medical and...

    How to stop crying on the job?

    Hygiene Queen replied to StopnSmelltheRoses's topic in Psychiatric

    I began as a CNA in a nursing home about 25 years ago. I coped with difficulties by sternly reminding myself that "this is what I signed up for" and to "suck it up". I guess I'm pretty brutal with...

    How to stop crying on the job?

    Hygiene Queen replied to StopnSmelltheRoses's topic in Psychiatric

    Okay, the doing the mental math is a great idea... you do what you gotta do to reign in those tears. The yawning, on the other hand... not so much. Think about how it would look to you, as a patient,...

    How can a 17 year old obtain a CNA license?

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

    Around here, you can become a CNA at 16. Most of out 16 year-old aides were able to take the class through some sort of program at the local high school. Perhaps, you can find out if that is an option...

    I hate being a nurse

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

    It's a job and being a martyr helps no one. Maybe you want to slave away for peanuts because "it's a calling", but most of us don't. Well, if it's really "a calling", you shouldn't mind doing any...

    Break up in Nursing school

    Hygiene Queen replied to Miss Dia's topic in Health, Stress Management

    This is typically what cowards will do when they succumb to weakness of character... They blame you. They have to justify what they did. They are selfish and have no consideration for the sacrifice...
