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

    You hit the nail on the head. You have summed the whole convoluted mess up in one sentence. I do believe this is the bottom line.

    No need to be upset at the truth! Change careers

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

    I am at home on my laptop now. I still cannot formulate a polite response to several of the posters on here. I see a lot of arrogance and narrow-mindedness. I see posts that were written for no better...

    Just quit and feeling down

    Hygiene Queen replied to doglover87's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    When I was new, I had the misfortune of being treated rather poorly. I was accused of things I did not do and bashed for not being as fast as the others. I have no idea why I did not quit. Something...

    At Work With Migraine & Everyone Else Out Sick...

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

    I don't know how feasible this is for you, but I would start looking for a job elsewhere. I'm sure that you have developed some skills and work ethic you can market to a prospective employer. There...

    What is the hardest subject in the nursing curriculum, in your opinion?

    Hygiene Queen replied to DichloroacetateAl's topic in General Students

    I'm still flummoxed by the darn nervous system. I never could get into it and no matter how many times I look stuff up, I never can get it to truly stick. I get it on a superficial level, but the...

    Is med-surg a must? Not wanting to get pidgeon-holed..

    Hygiene Queen replied to EricaSAFJAF's topic in General Nursing

    I hear that too, but I work in geri-psych which utilizes all these skills and more. I'm doing dressing changes, IV's, full ADL's, EKG's, foleys, colostomies, blood draws and have plenty of labs to...

    Are these legitimate concerns, or am I psyching myself out?

    Nursing school excitement...

    Hygiene Queen replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    LOL! That's awful! That reminded me of an aide I once worked with. He got really excited, hollered, "Yipppeeeeee!!!" as he jumped for joy and cracked his head on the door frame he was standing under....

    How into detail do nursing studies go?

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

    You will be expected to memorize all of those for A&P. Later, when you are in the nursing program, you will build on top of that knowledge as it applies to a

    Should penmanship be a mandatory course for physicians?

    Hygiene Queen replied to DichloroacetateAl's topic in General Nursing

    How stressful is nursing?

    Hygiene Queen replied to AlexisNicole's topic in Nursing Career

    I find it very stressful (sometimes) and I believe that it is because I expend a lot of energy trying to stay calm, cheerful, professional and in-control. It also tends to go against my grain...

    How many ml for IM injections?

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

    Well, I'm sure you're just a wee bit nervous First: I wonder if it is not a particularly good idea to study from too many different prep books. I would find one that I am comfortable with and try to...

    There's nothing worse than a FAT nurse!

    Hygiene Queen replied to Darkstar1485's topic in General Students

    I agree. English is a living and ever changing language. Words have many meanings and/or do not mean the same thing they once did. What matters more to me is the context in which the word is used. Not...

    Nursing is slavery Period!!!

    Hygiene Queen replied to sonia211's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
