    How do ya'll wear your hair? can you have bangs?

    Hygiene Queen replied to Reckless96's topic in General Nursing

    I always wear my hair in an updo. I am so used to this, I rarely wear it down outside of work... it feels funny. Just keep your hair safe from getting dragged through bodily fluids and keep it out of...

    Hypocalcemia

    Hygiene Queen replied to jayz1989's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    First day as PCT...need to vent :(

    Hygiene Queen replied to Rachelj1222's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Forced to sit out of school for a year

    Hygiene Queen replied to DIVINELY FAVORED's topic in General Students

    I graduated a year later than I should have. No, I did not cry but tried to take it with good grace. It is what it is and it is better to succeed later than not at all. Take the year to regroup and...

    CNA to RN?

    Hygiene Queen replied to brie_1994's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Don't worry about "fast". This is where people get into trouble. For example, many worry about how fast they can get into a program. They don't want to wait so they jump right into crummy...

    Forced to stay and work under mandatory evacuation?

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

    How could I blame them if I know they feel the same way I do? If my children were in a safe place with the right people, I would be there right along side my coworkers. If not, I'm with the

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

    That is why it is MY responsibility to ensure the safety of MY children. Who else is going to do it? We have a lot of talk about being responsible, but yet there is no regard for the responsibility of...

    mental health

    Hygiene Queen replied to ~passionateSN~'s topic in General Students

    Reorientation depends on your pt. While reorientation may work with some pt's, others will not be so receptive to being "challenged" on their beliefs. I'm talking about some actively psychotic pt's....
