    I was the "chosen" one this semester...

    Hygiene Queen replied to oklahomagal's topic in General Students

    I'd say ignore the delivery and listen to message. The message is that you need to work on time management. That said, it's sad that charting trumps patient care... but it all too often the truth! I...

    Sometimes it's impossible not to giggle...

    Hygiene Queen replied to AtivanIM's topic in Nursing Humor

    It was group time. I was listening to this exchange between the MHA and a rather psychotic patient (I'll call Mary): MHA: How about you, Mary? You like animals? Mary (flat affect): A kitten came to my...

    First job and I am in total shock!

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

    No! That is not how it is in all nursing homes... and I hope not even most. Sounds like you just landed yourself in a doozy. Since when is it ever "normal" to have blood in the urine? I'm sorry you're...

    Need a Ladies/Woman's perspective, please.

    Hygiene Queen replied to RedFin's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry but it seems as though some of your post is unclear. Is this an instructor or a student? No matter, because this behavior doesn't seem appropriate. A woman wouldn't lay her hands on any...

    Please help. Case for board discipline?

    Can a teacher do this?

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

    I don't know how your instructor actually teaches, so I can't comment on that. However, in nursing school, there is far far too much information that can possibly be taught in lecture. You are 100%...

    Which is more frustrating? Nursing school or Christmas lights?

    Hygiene Queen replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    Nursing school. I actually enjoy untying/detangling

    Facebook while on the clock?

    Hygiene Queen replied to maureen924's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Who the heck is getting to take a vacation, let alone have time to book one? So what should nurses being doing on their down time? I'm going to say it: if you are so keenly aware of what each and...

    Reconstitution HELP Pleaseeeeeee!!!!!!! :(

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

    I think your answer is right, but the thinking about the dilution is wrong. I would figure to make a full vial and give

    Reconstitution HELP Pleaseeeeeee!!!!!!! :(

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

    How much sterile water should the nurse add to the vial? I got 2.75mL (i just halfed the 5.5mL for this answer) Look again. If we follow your logic, to give 200,000 units, we would just 1/2 the...

    Nurses laughing so hard...

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

    It was Halloween time. The next day was "Dress Down Day" (we could wear jeans). A coworker misread it as "Dress Up Day" (we could wear a costume). We had a huge picture window in our breakroom that...

    If you weren't a nurse, what would you have become?

    Hygiene Queen replied to wooh's topic in General Nursing

    Art teacher... illustrator of children's books. I have a natural gift but I never took it to its full potential. I used to blow people away with my abilities, but I've lost a lot of skill....

    I want to be a nurse with a 9-5 job w/ weekends and holidays off

    Hygiene Queen replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    Work 5 days a week? Oh, heck no! I like having days off during the week and try to avoid working more than 2 days in a row if I can help it! I do not want to get up and go to work 5 days in a

    Question about Antipsychotic Sideffects

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

    Well, not just infection, but you would also have to look at what happens with electrolytes, BUN and creatinine. I would have picked sedation as it would occur more quickly. That and because I don't...

    Psych Nursing Job Wanted

    Hygiene Queen replied to nursedanny614's topic in Psychiatric

    This is why I urge people to work as a CNA/PCT first. Not only will you have a job in healthcare in which to familiarize yourself with the environment and hone basic skills, you also build connections...

    Overworked nursing student - How do I look?

    Hygiene Queen replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    I lost over 20lbs, my hair fell out and the bags under my eyes were enough to make Gucci jealous. It's been a year and I'm now wishing I was back in the Nursing School Diet

    Has anyone ever coded for you at clinical ?

    Hygiene Queen replied to mchssrn8813's topic in General Students

    That patient you had was not well. You didn't "fail to keep him well". You are a student and you are learning. Do not beat yourself up over this. You probably learned a lot from what happened and that...

    Feel so guilty and like such a loser

    Hygiene Queen replied to Stoogesfan's topic in General Students

    I have. The first time I had to give a baby a shot... I stuck the needle in, got freaked and pulled the darn thing out before I injected so much as a drop. The father was there and was very kind about...

    Certified Nursing Assistants - The Nurses think we have it so easy.

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

    You are absolutely 100% correct. Blanket statements always get us into trouble. I could have left that out and made my point. Thanks for pointing that out because I know we all do the best we can do...

    Horizontal Violence - EMT's and Paramedics VS LPN's and RN's

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

    The EMTs are often no better when they are called to our geri-psych unit. So, oh yay! A geriatric and a psychiatric nurse! That's the best of both worlds for those who love to hate! I have gotten my...

    Preg ns - fetal deformity/birth defects?

    Hygiene Queen replied to KELLYGIRL's topic in General Nursing

    I've wondered about that too. Not to mention all the benzos I've crushed and had go poof! You'd think I'd have a really peaced-out blissful shift, but alas,

    Certified Nursing Assistants - The Nurses think we have it so easy.

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

    No, I don't believe this is common. It sounds to me like the author of that post worked in a rather nasty facility (and some are quite foul). If you maintain good ethical and moral standards, you...
