    Started My CNA Job

    Hygiene Queen replied to Tyler626's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I would have reported that. That is harassment and I wonder how the CNA even got your phone number? Now where I work now, we do have our numbers posted, but that is for emergencies. For example, if I...

    Unrecognizable without scrubs...

    Hygiene Queen replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    Waaaaay back in the day when I was very young (*sigh*) I was working in a nursing home. Now, when I was at work, I dressed in white from top to toe (as did everyone-- we had a very archaic dress...

    Nurses: Why do many of you do this?

    Hygiene Queen replied to terina66's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Did we get ding-dong ditched? OP didn't come

    Unhygienic practices?

    Hygiene Queen replied to worriedabouthygiene's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds similar to a chiropractor I interviewed for once. He was also trying to get the job interviewees to sign up for treatments... among other unkosher things. I was offered the job and declined...

    Today I screwed up...

    Hygiene Queen replied to ZeroNightskye's topic in General Students

    Hmm. As I recall, green was the PM shift's color. You mean you gave the 2100 meds at 0900? That's a good

    Vent about scrubs

    Hygiene Queen replied to NellieRN10's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I worked with a nurse who wore g-string panties. Every time she bent over and I saw that g-string sticking out, I just wanted to grab some scissors and go

    Vent about scrubs

    Hygiene Queen replied to NellieRN10's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Yep. I sure do remember. Some of those uniform dresses required one to step into them and then you had to try and zipper them up your back. Some of the skirts even had a slit in the back for movement....

    What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    Hygiene Queen replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    And we need new stories! I want a story! I think I've told my best ones but I'll share one from my hubby who is a retired police officer. My husband was called to the scene of a rather gruesome car...

    Mental health clinicals are so boring

    Hygiene Queen replied to rubato's topic in General Students

    Oh, it is so very very much different when you are actually working it! As much as I love Psych, I also found our rotation rather dull. What you are missing is actually participating in the work day...

    Difficulty with coworkers

    Hygiene Queen replied to MiriamRn's topic in Emergency

    That would have thrown me over the edge and I do not know how you restrained yourself from punching her in the nose. That is just....

    What do you love most about your floor/specialty?

    Hygiene Queen replied to LauraLiz's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, those times are actually quite rare. This man was unbelievably HUGE, unpredictable, definitely antisocial, knew how intimidating he was and was a great big bully. He had already come to us in...

    For extroverts...please don't ask me

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

    Lol, GrnTea! Seems you been misunderstood by a bunch of misunderstood

    For extroverts...please don't ask me

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

    I know, right? I also don't think everything that crosses my mind should be a verbal statement! (Facebook reinforces this to me and that this is actually a good way to be . I have seen some statuses...

    For extroverts...please don't ask me

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

    INFJ here. Even my friends (who are life-long... everyone else is merely an "acquaintance") know I can only tolerate socializing for so long before I will shut down. If I have a friend or two over (I...

    What do you love most about your floor/specialty?

    Hygiene Queen replied to LauraLiz's topic in General Nursing

    Another vote for psych! You should have seen the pt we had yesterday... whoa! No details other than I was constantly formulating an defense/rescue/escape plan throughout the shift. Fortunately, things...

    Proof that Nurses and Nurse Aides are Angels

    Hygiene Queen replied to Baubo516's topic in Nurses Rock

    When I was a CNA, I had a marvelous lady for a manager who had tears in her eyes as she told us, "I really believe you are all angels from God and I love you!" She was a glorious old nurse and she...

    can you be certified as a cna/nurse assistant after fundamentals?

    Hygiene Queen replied to Hotbab3's topic in General Students

    You won't be a CNA, but you could be considered for a PCT position in a hospital. PCT=CNA, but PCT requires no certification... but most hospitals really want a CNA with some experience, unless you...

    How in debt were you after Nursing school?

    Hygiene Queen replied to lilwonder's topic in General Students

    Okay, Everybody! Let's hear Hygiene say it again (because I've only told this 600 times since I've joined AN) My education was FREE! FREE! FREE! Or darn close to it. Tuition reimbursement and a...

    What's the BEST nursing shoes?

    Hygiene Queen replied to BigCSN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Well, I guess Danskos are out for me: I have wide flat feet and bunions (I know everybody wanted to know how attractive my feet are:nono:). I thought about Danskos (because I am reaching the point of...

    What if we had to tell the real truth when asked about our weaknesses?

    Hygiene Queen replied to RNperdiem's topic in General Nursing

    This is the best idea for a thread I have seen in a very long time...

    What if we had to tell the real truth when asked about our weaknesses?

    Hygiene Queen replied to RNperdiem's topic in General Nursing

    *I'm a nerd and I don't socialize. *I'll never read my in-house emails... don't bother sending 'em... besides, my mailbox is full and the last email that got through was probably back in 2008. *Don't...

    I maybe in trouble, HIPPA Violation

    Hygiene Queen replied to ms.amy03's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    It is a shame OP was tattled on, but you can't really run around posting about your pt's onion/lady parts issues... it's just tacky and someone is likely to take offense... or want to cause trouble....

    I maybe in trouble, HIPPA Violation

    Hygiene Queen replied to ms.amy03's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Sun0408: You said exactly everything I wanted to say and I'd give you extra "likes" if I could. OP: I don't think the issue was HIPAA violation in as much as it was a monstrous display of poor...

    Do you tattle on your co-workers when you find something missed?

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

    Our unit is actually supportive and protective of each other. We have no problems approaching each other with concerns or corrections and I have not witnessed disrespect. I am very lucky and very...
