    Piercings & Tattoos?

    Hygiene Queen replied to Champs94's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    It totally depends on the policy of where you work. Some places are stricter than others. Most places want them

    RN's forced to do CNA work

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

    I get excited when I get to work as an aide! I used to dream I could do CNA work for RN pay, and now I do. I have always loved being a CNA and could care less about how "financially smart" it is for...

    First Day At Clinical Falls Flat

    Hygiene Queen replied to norm758's topic in General Students

    I remember a classmate and I were struggling to remember how to print out the MARS for our individual patients. Well, we thought we had it when we heard the printer take off... yay! But then, the...

    Nursing In My Blue Jeans

    Hygiene Queen replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    I never wear anything but my scrubs with my hair up and nails short! I just don't feel right, otherwise! Even on dress down days, I just can't do it. We can wear street clothes (no jeans) but I don't...

    Name Badges Worn Backwards

    Hygiene Queen replied to westieluv's topic in General Nursing

    I bet you could! That is a neat idea and you can also claim it keeps the badge from getting dirty and being a risk (I know that may be stretching it a bit, but it works from a marketing standpoint). I...

    Can this nurse be saved?

    Hygiene Queen replied to hotflashion's topic in Nursing Career

    I guess if she was so worried about it and didn't think signing your initials to things you didn't do was okay, I would kindly suggest that she fill those holes with her own

    So...you've had a bad day?

    Hygiene Queen replied to Been there,done that's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I hear you and I mean this with no rudeness intended: I could make it more about my patient if we weren't short-staffed with no breaks! I agree that it's not about us-- but because it about the $$$$$...

    How to respond to mgmt combining 2 high-acuity psych units in order to cut staff

    Hygiene Queen replied to Zoom14's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Our geri-psych unit has experienced something similar. The higher-ups simply do not care. It's all about how they can play with the beds and decrease staff to save money. It's total crap. Geros need...

    Hygiene Queen replied to Klimpys's topic in General Students

    No. They are all adults. Each and every single one of them. There are resources everywhere and if the student doesn't utilize them, then that is on the

    Yes, it is sad. But the math is THAT important. The power of a decimal point is a very awesome thing. When it comes down to the math, there is no room for

    What is nursing about?

    Hygiene Queen replied to amber4452's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nursing is all about the "nasty". But is it really really truly nasty? Only if you have the mindset that it is. Do you want to know what is nastier than a diaper? A nurse who won't touch it and lets...

    Anyone else ever made this mistake?

    Hygiene Queen replied to mls4455's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Sometimes I have to lay my hand on the pt to feel the rise and fall with resps. I don't know if you can do that during the test,

    False vitals data???

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

    For some bizarre reason, some aides seem to think there is some great "trouble" they can get into if they cannot get vitals. I have no clue why. Think about it: even the fact that a patient is...

    Anyone had serious doubts...about nursing and about self?

    Hygiene Queen replied to zephyr9's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Absolutely. I could have written your post word for word. There is an aggressiveness, assertiveness and a competitiveness that is completely foreign to me. I am Robin-- not

    Exhaustion bloopers

    Hygiene Queen replied to K+MgSO4's topic in General Nursing

    Lol! I witnessed a nurse almost say the exact same thing to doc. She just caught herself and was still mortified because you still knew what she was going to say. Recently, I told a pt, "Hi! I'm...

    Who to turn to????

    Hygiene Queen replied to joshsmother's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Next time you cannot get ahold of the nurse via vocera-- and it's something very important-- track that nurse down and find her in person. If you cannot find her, go to the next level and tell them...

    Why is the care plan important and why is it important to check clients care plan?

    Hygiene Queen replied to JESSICA.LILLY's topic in Patient Education

    What have you come up with so far? You have to share with us what you have come up with on your own. The question you ask is very very basic and the answer easily found, so seeing such a question...

    Total Disregard for Visiting Hours

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

    Considering we all know what mistakes can possibly happen, I think most would agree with you, but at least we would (hopefully) not be disruptive to the staff trying to give care. But if you are going...

    Total Disregard for Visiting Hours

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

    I cannot stand obnoxious visitors! I work in psych and I am very grateful that: We have limited visiting hours. If the family wants more time-- or a different time, they need a decent reason and a...

    This is ironic.

    Hygiene Queen replied to NottaSpringChik's topic in Correctional

    Oh, for heaven's sake! Why be sorry? Rant and vent and spare your hubby! I don't know what to tell you, but that situation is just appalling, in my opinion. I feel your frustration! Venting is good...

    My boyfriend's ex is a drug seeker/substance abuser/narcotic pill popper

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

    Yes, OP needs to be careful here. That's why I mentioned hiring a PI. Very often, folks will hire a PI because they are dead sure that the ex is doing drugs around the kids (or something like that)....
