    How to handle a passive-aggressive coworker?

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

    I think you are right on the money. If you don't feed the monster, she will become bored with you. As soon as I realize someone is fishing for a reaction from me, I keep that idea in the forefront of...

    Hygiene Queen replied to ckh23's topic in General Nursing

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

    Hygiene Queen replied to Will Never's topic in General Students

    Things you'd LOVE to tell coworkers...and get away with it!

    Hygiene Queen replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What's wrong with 17?Sounds like they counted for a full minute. I'd be more worried if they got a BP of odd numbers on a manual cuff.... When I was in CNA class, we did have a gal get read the riot...

    Quit nursing already?

    Hygiene Queen replied to jellybean16's topic in First Year After Licensure
