    Firing employees who refuses to come into work.

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

    Up to 2009, we had a table rotary dial phone in that strange fleshy pink color. It had been in the family for, probably, 40+ years. Anyway, I taught the kids how to use it and they thought it was a...

    Stupid Nurse Tricks (Or How To Look Incredibly Stupid)

    Hygiene Queen replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    It was a dark and stormy night. Everything that could go wrong, did. It would take me writing a book to tell you about the whole shift, but there was the crowning moment... Things were moving fast and...

    Hygiene Queen replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, but unfortunately, her original name is forever visible in the all the posts that quoted her while she was still using that name... at least the picture is

    Hygiene Queen replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Geeze, Louise! I got bored to tears at some point during The Great Threat Hijack of 2014 Okay, I found another little gem of a thread (we know it was entertaining because it was shut down-- because...

    dealing withfailures in nursing school and negative people

    Hygiene Queen replied to snowybee's topic in General Students

    It sounds like you would benefit from a consultation with your academic counselor. Do this today and don't delay! TRUST ME These are your "friends", eh? Geeze... not very supportive, are they?...

    CNA New Grad $8 an hour please help!!!!

    Hygiene Queen replied to NewNew10's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Maybe, but you won't get that CNA experience. Sometimes, it's worth it to do something for the experience, even if the pay is poor for the work being done (if this is at all possible). The expectation...

    How to Dress for Psychiatric Nursing

    Hygiene Queen replied to Meriwhen's topic in Psychiatric

    Scrubs really are the best way to go on a geri unit. They usually cost less than street clothes and they can usually take a good wash in hot water better than street clothes. The elderly women,...

    Has anyone taken care of a celeb?

    Hygiene Queen replied to anon456's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Long time ago, we sorta had one... really one of those famous-for-no-good-reason type of people. A flash-in-the-pan. Anyway, this person was not on our unit, but in our small hospital. So, a coworker,...

    Is this unrealistic?

    Hygiene Queen replied to HeartRN13's topic in General Nursing

    The other thing you have to consider is inservices. What are you going to do when you have a mandatory inservice on a day you have to be at your other job? So, on top of managing the work schedule,...

    Never hesitate to ask questions

    Hygiene Queen replied to Brian's topic in Nursing Humor

    We had a gal in our class who over-thought everything. She could not accept the concept that 1ml=1cc. I :poop: you not. Eventually, she just accepted it for what it was, but only after arguing with...

    So discouraged - a male RN working in a woman's world

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

    I'm sorry, but neither sex wins the Drama and Gossip Award. My husband is the manliest damn man you'll ever meet, but that doesn't stop him from gossiping with the men in the neighborhood. They grab...

    If you are a male can you ask to only work for male patients?

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

    Not too long ago, a female nursing student (or pre-nursing student-- I don't recall) asked the exact same question, but in reverse. You have to learn how to take care of both sexes. It's just not...

    panic attacks at work

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

    There are better ways to deal with this, and starving yourself is not one of them... and you know that. Have you considered seeking counseling? I've gotten counseling through our Employee Assistance...

    What do Nurses think about CNA's

    Hygiene Queen replied to powers2704's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have a lot of respect for the hard work they do. They do not get paid what they are worth. Their jobs and contributions are valuable, but often overlooked. They are not created equal. Some are...

    Pretty down about being a new CNA

    Hygiene Queen replied to evack5318's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Did those little wenches actually say this? If so, that's awful. I was a CNA, myself, back in Ancient Roman Times. There were no electronic lifts. There were no men in our facility. All women with...

    What Are The Most Creative Call-off Excuses You Have Heard?

    Hygiene Queen replied to bluegeegoo2's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Okay, this wasn't just a call-in, but it was also an excuse for a no-call/no-show. We had hired, perhaps, the stupidest CNA I had ever met in my life. Now, I am not usually so mean and I'm pretty...

    Dressing for psych

    Hygiene Queen replied to OCRN3's topic in Psychiatric

    Do not dress in anything that can be used as a weapon against you: No scarves No lanyards No necklaces No neckties Do not dress in anything that keeps you from being able to move quickly: No heels Do...

    Does becoming a CNA help you if you want to become an RN?

    Hygiene Queen replied to Becca014's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Not really. Laypeople have no clue what all a nurse's duty entails behind the scenes. Just because the nurse puts them on the bedpan with a smile on her face does not mean she is a good nurse. The...

    Has a resident/patient ever complained about you?

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

    Well, there you go. You were the target of a habitual complainer. Welcome to the club. I am willing to bet that the nurse, who pulled you aside, knows full well that this particular resident is a...

    Do you ever feel like a social worker?

    Hygiene Queen replied to BlueLightRN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Agree! The pt was communicating a real problem and was hoping for a solution. It is certainly my job to listen and make sure that I work closely with the social worker to help resolve the pt's issues....
