    Bully Nurses

    Hygiene Queen replied to catband's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Well, it's not always about "liking" to do something, but what you should do. From what you say, I will bet dollars to donuts that-- had you spoken to them the exact way they had spoken to you-- that...

    Anyone else offended by this radio commercial?

    Hygiene Queen replied to T-Bird78's topic in General Nursing

    The best part of my day as a CNA was giving everyone a good wash-up, lotion and a good, smooth fresh bed to get into. I also loved taking care of my bedridden folks and getting everything as perfect...

    I have a part time job in the community as a elderly daycare nurse. I LOVE IT!!!! No holidays, no weekends, no evenings, and virtually no stress! We do little field trips and as the nurse, I'm...

    Hygiene Queen replied to erint91DC's topic in General Students

    ... but never hurts to have your own for back up for times when you need it now and you can't find one anywhere, the electronic machine is on the fritz and when any hospital cuff you do find is a...

    Doctor's attitudes

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

    I know the doctors I work with don't want to sit through a long-winded SBAR. I open up the chart, jot myself notes and try to present what I see as pertinent as succinctly as possible... and sometimes...

    Inservice

    Hygiene Queen replied to LovelyOverload's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    So often, aides are treated like they know nothing, which is unfortunate. Why not take that aide-- who is knowledgeable, has great communication skills and likes to teach-- and put them in a position...

    Reprimanded for reporting medication errors and so much more

    Hygiene Queen replied to reprimanded's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Reprimanded, I don't know how old you are but you sound rather immature. Your behavior is out of line. You are not the keeper of your fellow students. If you witness a serious error-- yes-- you need...

    When is too soon to quit?

    Hygiene Queen replied to fifiroo's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I don't know... It's only been 3 months. It seems to me that the only way to advance to "more complicated" stuff would be to stick it out. If you leave now, that advancement will never

    How NOT To Be An Annoying Nursing Student

    Hygiene Queen replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in General Nursing

    The nursing instructor is the one who should be stressing the common courtesies involved in clinicals. If not, then you're own good manners and common sense should come into play: *Do not take up the...

    Crazy busy floor...need to vent

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

    You beat me to it Soldiernurse22! Right on! I just saw this yesterday. We have an awesome nurse who picks up many extra shifts (anywhere in the hospital) and who was totally taken advantage of...

    Best CNA experiences

    Hygiene Queen replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    I worked in a LTC that had the best CNA's and teamwork I've ever seen. When we run into each other-- no many how many years have passed-- we are happy to see each other and bemoan the fact we have...

    Hate being a CNA

    Hygiene Queen replied to LadyLeo75's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Okay, this bothers me: It does not matter how crappy we think someone is being to us. If the tasks we are being delegated are tasks dealing in the comfort or safety of the pt, then hurt feelings need...

    Hate being a CNA

    Hygiene Queen replied to LadyLeo75's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Well, that's the first time I've ever heard that! No, they aren't nurses, but they are definitely part of the nursing team. They are educated in and perform the most basic of nursing tasks. They are...

    Interesting Little Story...

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

    Honestly, it could be anything that you mentioned. If this is out of place for her to do this, then I'd report it so that medical or psych issues can be ruled out and addressed. Be careful how you...

    I have a wonderful part-time nurse job in a non-medical setting. I wear nice clothes (no scrubs) but my clients love knowing there is a nurse there with them. When they get a skin tear or "just don't...

    Hygiene Queen replied to Gamecock73's topic in General Nursing

    I had the EXACT same thing happen to me last night. In my case it was an overbearing, arrogant, condescending, narrow minded jerk whose wife was my patient. When I had had enough, I told him the...
