    Remember why you became a nurse...

    Hygiene Queen replied to 2bNurseynursenurse1's topic in General Nursing

    I derived 110% satisfaction from the work I did as a CNA. I loved it so much, I did it for over 20 years. When I decided I wanted to be a nurse, I did it for the paycheck. Yes. I did. I had to do it....

    Nursing classes are easy...

    Hygiene Queen replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    Nursing school was harder than hell. It wasn't the content. It was the time frame in which we had to learn the content and the projects, reports and exams that came at us fast and furious... Oh yeah,...

    Do you think I could get kicked out?

    Hygiene Queen replied to w.ross1990's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I agree. We are not born unto this world with all the savvy we will ever need. We acquire it all over time and make many painful mistakes along the way. Some acquire it sooner than others and it all...

    PVT does work!!!

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

    But does it always work? Don't forget to encourage people to PAY ATTENTION in class and actually STUDY before the exam. And not only because they need to pass an exam... But because they actually need...

    Negative feedback

    Hygiene Queen replied to diamond823's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    i would say, if you are paid well, come home in time and have some schedule flexibility, then stay where you are, at least for now while you have a young child at home. those are years you will never...

    Job interview.. do I really have to put up with this?

    Hygiene Queen replied to Been there,done that's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    In my opinion, an interview is a two-way street. I'm checking them out just as much as they are checking out me. If I am treated poorly at an interview, then I know I sure as heck don't want the job....

    welcome to nursing!

    Hygiene Queen replied to JBudd's topic in General Nursing

    I worked with one of my instructors before nursing school. She was great to work with and she was the nicest instructor you could have. Her class was my favorite and it was actually the one class that...

    Lying about a med to a psych patient

    Hygiene Queen replied to cel58's topic in Emergency

    When push comes to shove (literally) we're going to do what we have to do. When you have a violent, hallucinating, delusional and adrenaline-driven patient with NO boundaries coming after you, you're...

    Is the Nursing Licensure Exam effective?

    Hygiene Queen replied to Double-Helix's topic in General Nursing

    I was disturbed by the NCLEX. It took me far longer to drive to the testing site than it took me to take the exam. I was prepared for the "hardest test ever" and found it ridiculously easy. I, too,...

    The Mockery of Nursing

    Hygiene Queen replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My son is 14 and loves it when I read him funny and crazy posts from AN. I also let him read certain threads that aren't too scandalous. He was digging the ghost story forum... Then he had to go to...

    Okay. I couldn't hold it in. I'm not going to quote anybody. Those who are the culprits know who they are. There is no way... No way... The Gary Jules version of "Mad World" is better than Tears for...

    The Mockery of Nursing

    Hygiene Queen replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    LOL!! Does the Fomite Scrub Company (or whatever it was called!) carry a First Lady's line of scrubwear? The Jackie Kennedy pill-box nursing cap. The Michelle Obama extra-wide neckline scrubs for a...

    Why be a CNA first?

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

    Yes, working in such close proximity (as an extension of the nurse, you could say) will really open your eyes to what it is that nurses actually do (if you actually pay attention!). In fact, working...

    Well, ya know, if He wasn't spending so much time answering NCLEX prayers then maybe He would have a little more time to spend on ME! It's all about me! Me! Me! Me! Because I am a Special...

    Hygiene Queen replied to Pneumothorax's topic in General Students

    I hated nursing school and I hated our ugly scrubs. So, I burned my scrubs. I let my two kids each toss a piece into the bonfire... And before those hideous scrubs actually burned... they sorta......

    Hygiene Queen replied to Mmae's topic in General Students

    Find your textbooks on the Evolve website. Go, within the texts you have subscribed to, and find the chapters you are studying. Take any NCLEX questions offered. At first, don't stress about how many...

    About to start nursing school and need advice from all you lovely nurses out there!!!

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

    I wouldn't worry so much about content as I would about learning to crack the code of NCLEX-style questions. If you can get that beast down, the rest will come. Content is vital, but it is useless (as...

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

    There are hospitals that will pay for your school and/or give you a scholarship. If you know anybody who works in a hospital already, use them as a reference (if they approve) and try to get your...
