    Maybe you feel/felt the same? Worried about 'getting it'

    Hygiene Queen replied to libby11's topic in General Students

    A lot of that information won't really click into place and stick until you utilize it. Also, once you get that first job, you will be amazed at what will come back to you. You know more than you...

    Scam Schools And Diploma Mills

    Hygiene Queen replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Students

    And these programs cost an arm and a leg. I wish people would just sloooooooow down and wait to get into a good solid program. Instant admission is not worth thousands upon thousands of dollars worth...

    Is this badge holder too morose?

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

    Oh, some of it's cute, but you really don't want anything that says "juicy" on it. Trust me, it just opens you up to crude comments. We were once told that we had to wear badges that said, "Ask me if...

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

    I really like the cameo, itself, as I love broaches... and I like them interesting. It just doesn't belong in a hospital. And the "juicy" one. Aren't we over this "juicy" crap yet? Juicy does not...

    Death

    Hygiene Queen replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    My first patient death was an elderly woman who had breast cancer. The cancer had eaten a hole through her breast and it was rather ugly. I did not cry because it was a relief for this woman. I also...

    I cried at work is it embarrassing? How do I get over this?

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

    Hellokittyandme: It is a shock the first time you ever get hit by a patient. It will likely happen again, unfortunately, but know that it happens. And there is something about being hit in the face...

    Quick question for my fellow CNAs...

    Hygiene Queen replied to whatdidigetmyselfin2's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Unfortunately, if the resident says they need to be changed then they need to be changed and it would be neglectful not to do

    Please tell me this isn't normal

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

    No! It is unsafe. Even nurses, who have far far more medication education, have to fight against distractions while passing meds to prevent dangerous errors. For example, blood pressure meds are not...

    Using a white (dry erase) board to study

    Hygiene Queen replied to IndyElmer's topic in General Students

    I teach pretend lectures. This was an amazing method for me to use when learning EKGs, sepsis and hemodynamics. I graduated almost a year ago and still do this when I feel there is something I need to...

    I just watched that happen yesterday! Two obnoxious sisters eating Mom's food. I am not exaggerating about their obnoxiousness nor the fact that they were eating Mom's food. For every 3 wonderful...

    I had a terrible day at school today... Accused and feel awful.

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

    Being a CNA is a huge responsibility. I don't blame your instructor one bit. Stop talking about it. You stated your case, now leave your instructor be. I wish you the best. You have good conscience......

    CNA's documenting in charts...

    Hygiene Queen replied to luvmy2angels's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Our techs (CNA's) document full notes in the chart. We have had no problems. They also have full access to the chart. We work in psych and not knowing certain things can be dangerous. They really do...

    no prior experience..advice plz

    Hygiene Queen replied to brandi-007's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    See if there is a nursing home or hospital (or wherever) that will pay for you to become a CNA. You can have the class paid for and get your feet wet all in one go. I was extremely shy and introverted...

    Why do mean/crabby people become nurses??

    Hygiene Queen replied to R!XTER's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have found that the more self-confidence I gain over the years, the more irritated I am with nursing. I was taught to "suck it up!" You got hit? It's part of the job, only wienies complain! You got...

    No need to be upset at the truth! Change careers

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

    I think the problem is that when folks come on here to vent about lazy nurses or uncaring nurses is the fact that those nurses aren't here!! So obviously nurses here are thinking, "what?! I care!" I...
