    Tips for a New Cna!!!

    Hygiene Queen replied to uniquern2015's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    So true! I have always loved my total-care patients and would pour my heart and soul into them. It was always frustrating to know you had these poor souls who could do absolutely nothing to help...

    Tips for a New Cna!!!

    Hygiene Queen replied to uniquern2015's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It absolutely can be done... but it takes time to build yourself up to a degree of efficiency. Like KatieP86 said, you rush between residents and slow down when you are actually working on them. You...

    Am I suffering from burn out or is this something more...?

    Hygiene Queen replied to Emily Star's topic in General Students

    Could you explain that you mean by "and it's not going to work due to their policies"? I, personally, struggled in nursing school (personal issues affecting my ability to focus and function). At one...

    Working in retail/food service/minimum wage

    Hygiene Queen replied to pinkiepieRN's topic in Nursing Career

    I have. I walked into a local dollar store, dressed nicely, politely asked for an application and filled it out. No sooner did I get home that I got a phone call and asked to come back. Got a job that...

    Training a new RN

    Hygiene Queen replied to catlvr's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds to me like you did a good job! It also sounds like she needs to sloooooow down, listen and pay attention! You can only do so much and if she keeps going the way she is going, she'll surely find...

    Am I a failure?

    Hygiene Queen replied to Redstudent's topic in General Students

    I'm glad you are no longer suicidal and as tough as nursing school is, it should not make anyone feel that way. Nursing is not for everyone and if it makes one miserable to the point it was making...

    If you truly feel this way, then you really need to seek counseling. Please get yourself some

    New nurse, forgetting what I learned in school

    Hygiene Queen replied to nurseGi's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Jadelpn is right. It will come flooding back. Sometimes I will ask another nurse and they can say just one word and I'm like "oh yeeeeaaaaah... it's because of such and such and that's why blah blah...

    Young, Thin, and Cute New Hires

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

    Back in the day, the requirements for the stewardess was strict. When I was a little girl in the 70's, I came across an old text, in the library, about becoming a stewardess. This book was probably 20...

    I'm not the CNA I wanted to be.

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

    It can be done. You learn to rush between residents but you slow down when you are with them. It takes time to get a routine down. It's okay to be slow in the beginning because you are new. Sure,...

    Why my Patient did not Have Lunch Today.

    Hygiene Queen replied to Steve123's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I would have (respectfully) told my supervisor I had a patient to feed and could we talk later. There was nothing that supervisor had to say to the OP that couldn't have waited. It was not a safety...

    Tell the CNA to clock out and go home

    Hygiene Queen replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    It gets split amongst the remaining aides, who aren't going to like that and will likely exert a degree of peer pressure to ensure that doesn't happen again. They aren't going to be happy with the...

    Am I Only one who is irritated by doctors and medical shows?

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

    Ha! My husband cannot watch "Cops". He says it's sanitized. He almost got to be on the show but his department decided to put the kabosh on it. Darn! He also cannot watch that process server guy on...

    Why Do People Bully Me?

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

    I could have written this post and you are right. There are things that targets need to do to stop being the target. You weren't born that weird little goth kid. You chose that because...

    I'm having trouble understanding your post. I would recommend you call the state and ask your question there... about your certification. Certified Nursing Assistant. It's not a

    How do experienced nurses do it to memorize everything?

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

    I believe it is Esme that has the links to the brain sheets. Yooo hooo... Esme... Try searching "brain sheets" here on AN and see it they pop up or try messaging Esme, if you

    Why Do People Bully Me?

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

    Commuter, I'm sure you'll get some negative responses regarding yelling back, but as a gal who has been confronted with bullies, I agree. Something else that works is humor. A bully can't stand to...

    Ever "rip 'em a new one''?

    Hygiene Queen replied to blackvans1234's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well, I would have to say that "ripping a new one" would be tempting in this case and it would take every fiber of my being to maintain my cool. However, you need to let a cooler head prevail. Let her...
