    Just need to put this out there. (venting)

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

    Well... If you see a mean nasty woman who appears to show no concern for those she is supposed to be taking care of, then I can see how you could wonder about what kind of mother she'd be. I get it,...

    Don't go into nursing school if_____

    Hygiene Queen replied to 2k15NurseExtern4u's topic in General Students

    Here's some, based on some of the coo-coo posts I've seen here on AN: Don't go to nursing school if you have a freak-out because you have to get rid of your fake nails and nail polish. Geeze Louise!...

    What do you do as a Psychatric nurse? How is it like? Do you enjoy it?

    Hygiene Queen replied to Gaby_rmz77's topic in Psychiatric

    Okay, but what's your hurry? If you really want to be a psychologist, then go for it. Some things are worth the long hard road. Nursing school isn't as long as trying to become a psychologist, of...

    Prejudice in Nursing

    Hygiene Queen replied to registerednurse3's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Whoa. I'm white and I grew up in a very depressed black and hispanic neighborhood. I've dealt with racism: filthy names, physical threats and even surprised comments such as "What are you doing in...

    Harassed at Saint Anselm College

    Hygiene Queen replied to studentrnja's topic in General Students

    Why did your parents have to be there? I'm curious because I would expect, as an adult, you would not need to have your parents there. I have had to go before the board myself and I prepared myself...

    Tired of hearing about the kids.

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

    Oh, I guess I can tolerate people talking about their kids... no harm in it. I like hearing about people. I just cringe when they act like they are the most AMAZING!!!! mom in the world......

    Just need to put this out there. (venting)

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

    Oh, my. Vent away. Some people are just that immature and it's a mixture of infuriating and comical. I wish I could tell you that your classmate will certainly fail and never get a chance to work as...

    Compliment, Motivate or Encourage the previous poster :)

    If I can do it, anyone can! Go! Go!

    Hygiene Queen replied to hopefulRN23's topic in General Students

    Why are you down? Pick yourself back up!!!! Does the swift smack of failure sting? Oh, yes ma'am! And since you don't want to feel that way anymore, you'll want to succeed next time... But you need to...

    Not wanting to take care of male resident

    Hygiene Queen replied to MileyFans's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Oh, there's no way around it and so you have to shove steel down your spine and be brave. I was as pure as the driven snow when I became an aide and the only member I had ever seen was in pictures. My...

    From MA to CNA help?

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

    A local community college will offer those courses. Call a school you are interested in and ask what you need to do to get started. If you are looking to get into a specific program, you really need...

    Why does school have to be made to be (seemingly) unneccesarily difficult?

    Hygiene Queen replied to Guitarstrings's topic in General Students

    I would offer you more suggestions but I suspect you won't be

    Why does school have to be made to be (seemingly) unneccesarily difficult?

    Hygiene Queen replied to Guitarstrings's topic in General Students

    Well, they do manage to do it. There are thousands of nurses out there! If it were truly impossible, there would be none. How did they do it? They figured out how to study and retain the information...

    Why does school have to be made to be (seemingly) unneccesarily difficult?

    Hygiene Queen replied to Guitarstrings's topic in General Students

    I don't know if anyone mentioned this because, honestly, I lost track after awhile. Anyway, I'll add that information isn't spoon-fed and one has to learn to use resources because that's what you have...

    Cops and Nurses

    Hygiene Queen replied to GundeRN's topic in General Nursing

    My husband is a retired cop and he's told me that he would never give a nurse a ticket. The nurse would have to be doing something pretty bad before he'd even consider it. Now, I do not speed and I...

    why so many negatives about nursing?

    Hygiene Queen replied to confusedstudent20's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If only those with the rosy glasses knew how much trouble even seemingly simple things can be. What I went through recently just to get a darn order for a pain med... they would cry. You don't think...

    Will I lose my job ?

    Hygiene Queen replied to Stunurse1235's topic in Nursing Career

    That other aide needed to butt out. The nurse was handling it. You made a mistake and you know it was a big deal. Ask yourself: How did this mistake happen? What can I do to prevent it from happening...

    two people for hoyer lift-why?

    Hygiene Queen replied to CNA2day's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    And that's ALL that lift is doing. It's purpose isn't to allow you to do it by yourself. The point is to save your back... and it can actually be a gentler transfer for patients who are very fragile....

    CNA'S working in nursing homes?

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

    Well, there is the potential for drama in any workplace. The key is to keep your nose out of it. If you are looking for the perfect, drama-free place, you may never find it. Just some things this post...

    Multiple jobs

    Hygiene Queen replied to poohrn33's topic in General Nursing

    I have one that has benefits and I have one because I love it (very easy job too). Having a second job is not only back up, but it also brings in a little extra money. I think also prevents being...

    Can you challenge the CNA exam?

    Hygiene Queen replied to sparke998's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Call your state and ask them. Also, sometimes you can get a job as a PCT with one nursing school clinical rotation, so if you can wait, you try and go that route. That's how it is around here,

    Does every CNA get frustrated with their job or is it just me

    Hygiene Queen replied to mcclot1993's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Last time I checked, CNA's use their brains. In fact the better they were, the more of it they used. Being a CNA is not "brainless" work and I do wish people would stop perpetuating the myth. Is it...

    Dear Cheaters

    Hygiene Queen replied to RN9742's topic in General Students

    Oh, I was going to say pretty much the same thing! Also, the NCLEX is not that hard... There. I said it. Someone who cheats through school can pass the NCLEX and then go on to be a working nurse. Like...
