    What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    Hygiene Queen replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    I just wanted to say that I think it's interesting that this thread-- which is easily the one of the most entertaining on this site AND is one that has been active for THIRTEEN YEARS-- was started by...

    GUM! Can you chew it on shift?

    Hygiene Queen replied to SummitRN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    In that case, here: https://allnurses.com/general-nursing-discussion/gum-chewing-454534.html Might as well double our pleasure and double our

    Anyone else have a bad CNA experience

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

    I don't know anything about HCR Manorcare, though I have heard of them. Learning the ropes is tough. If you can start out on a PM shift somewhere, I would recommend it. You have only one meal, no...

    Does your workplace have a Suggestion Box?

    Hygiene Queen replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    Hilarious! Better that they were expressing their displeasure regarding the quality of the food, than expressing their displeasure regarding the quality of the incontinence briefs. It is entirely...

    Taking away chairs from nursing station

    Hygiene Queen replied to pinkessence_58467's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    And Confucius says, "If CNA on day shift found sitting in recliner, then back hurts. Work done. No

    Patient abuse... To staff

    Hygiene Queen replied to lmccrn62's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Or is it a nice little personality disorder and that is how the patient is... and that is never ever going to change? Some people are just

    Ugh so upset!!

    Hygiene Queen replied to brycross33's topic in General Students

    I have accidentally double-dosed myself. I was on 100mcg at the time so I actually gave myself 200mcg about an hour apart. Totally forgot I took it. Can we say anxiety and heart palpitations? And even...

    Feeling so defeated

    Hygiene Queen replied to lintx's topic in General Students

    This is only for the short term! Continue to be friendly and polite but I would not spend anymore time worrying about them. Most of the friendships that are struck up in nursing school, do not even...

    Nurses out there! What was your hardest Nursing semester???

    Hygiene Queen replied to Marsha238612's topic in Nurses Rock

    OB. Oh, the clinicals were okay, but I never was interested in women's health, childbirth and blah blah blah. I struggled in it, failed it, passed it and to this day I hate talking about anything...

    Ugh so upset!!

    Hygiene Queen replied to brycross33's topic in General Students

    This. It is really a very important med. Whether or not a patient gets it and when they get it or with what they get it with can be a problem. Think about it... the thyroid affects everything...

    Junior Year Stress. Anxiety. Heartache.

    Hygiene Queen replied to camelbakhi's topic in General Students

    Nursing school tests are a different beast. Until you understand how approach them and pick "the best" answer (even though all answers may be correct) then you will struggle. I know this first hand....

    Saw a nurse yelling at a patient in ICU

    Hygiene Queen replied to inspiredbynavy's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    And don't forget to say "thank you" when the pt instantly stops trying to kill himself, and then (with a twinkle in your eye and big happy grin) say, "Gee, Mr. Jerk! That suuuuuuure was a close call!...

    Call Bells and IV Pumps

    Hygiene Queen replied to avaloncar's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't had to listen to a call light since 1999. No call lights in psych nor in senior daycare...

    Back braces...how come I never see CNA's wear them?

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

    The only thing we young gals used them for was to pull them as tight as possible to show off our tiny little waists. Oh! The vanity of youth! I haven't seen a back brace in use for about 15 years

    Florida required fingerprinting is confusing

    Hygiene Queen replied to forest4's topic in Nursing Career

    What a convoluted and ridiculous mess... I'm not surprised, either! That's government agencies for you. That is crap that the vendor would not even try to steer you in the right direction, but they...

    Have you talked to a licensing agent for the state of Florida? I don't think Livescan is going to have the info you need. Call the

    Demand for CNAs

    Hygiene Queen replied to 50andCounting's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The turnover rate for CNAs is high. CNAs are also being churned out constantly because it's quick and easy. Any jobs are easily filled. Supply does not exceed demand. So, while there may be a demand,...

    Demand for CNAs

    Hygiene Queen replied to 50andCounting's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Unfortunately, you get what you pay for. What does a CNA get paid? Crap. Why? Because anyone can pass the single class that is required to become a CNA. The class is so easy, in fact, that a complete...

    RN License plate

    Hygiene Queen replied to esrun00's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's a fine fine thing that we live in a country where we can do this. On topic, if the plates had some dignity to them, okay. I don't want nurse plates, but if one's going to have them,...

    Working as a CNA before nursing school?

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

    Why being a CNA first worked for me: 1) I was a known entity-- they knew my work ethic (which was excellent) 2) I became accustomed to the culture and saw with my own eyes how difficult nursing can...

    So many nursing majors in my class!

    Hygiene Queen replied to mmcc26's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Everybody earns their spot in the program fair and square and their motives for pursuing nursing are varied. I suppose one can question motives... nothing wrong with questioning anything... but the...

    Hygiene Queen replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing
