    Would you feel ok as a patient at your own hospital?

    What field of nursing do you want to go in and why?

    Hygiene Queen replied to aghols12's topic in General Students

    GUILTY

    Hygiene Queen replied to GitanoRN's topic in General Nursing

    Gitano :You are sooo not guilty. You probably would not have gotten a ticket if the cop had known you were a nurse anyway. Consider it a perk of your job. I make sure I keep my hospital parking tag on...

    Advice - I'll need a meal tray too

    Hygiene Queen replied to LalaJJB's topic in Emergency

    Oh yeah... This is Psych talking here, so please forgive my intrusion, but we do share some things in common. Must be that these things are universal across the far reaches of the nursing world. It...

    Hyper and hypo ventilation with PaCO2 levels

    Hygiene Queen replied to NightNurseRN13's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hyper and hypo ventilation with PaCO2 levels

    Socializing after work in your scrubs

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

    Good point. Though, I think someone "getting down on the dance floor in their white lab coat" would make me laugh... because... really... I would believe that would definitely be attention-seeking....

    Socializing after work in your scrubs

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

    I guess we don't really know where they work or what they actually do. Some jobs aren't dirty. If their job is nasty and they had a nasty night, well... ewwww. But I think most people, if they had...

    Hyper and hypo ventilation with PaCO2 levels

    Hygiene Queen replied to NightNurseRN13's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    the drive to breathe is to get rid of co2. how ever much the body needs to retain or get rid of will determine the rate of ventilation to maintain balance. i think that is the simplest way of thinking...

    wait... when you hyperventilate, you are blow off your co2 so the levels are going to be low. when you hypoventilate, you are retain the co2, so the levels would be higher. this is also when you...

    Patient Safety Ignored to Save Money

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

    Actually, that's horrible. That means the one nurse is responsible for all meds, orders, admits, discharges, transfers, treatments, phones, documentation... Who's on the floor helping the tech? One...

    Infatuated with colleague - need counsel

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

    Aw! Ask her out! I dated a coworker before and it was no problem. We behaved professionally and many people didn't even realize we were dating. I know plenty of others who have done this, too. I have...

    Frustrated with SN

    Hygiene Queen replied to DookieMeisterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Clinical Woes

    Hygiene Queen replied to vickymarie's topic in General Students

    Just remember: you are not a failure if you cannot get someone to take their meds. You can't force anyone to do what they don't want to do. Chart them as "refused" because that is exactly what he did....
