    If I Said on Here What I Wanted to Say.

    Hygiene Queen replied to DixieRedHead's topic in General Nursing

    That was pretty bad. I guess there are folks that think they don't need to know how to do math, write, wake up on time, be polite, have interpersonal skills, practice good hygiene, follow the rules,...

    If I Said on Here What I Wanted to Say.

    Hygiene Queen replied to DixieRedHead's topic in General Nursing

    agreed. i don't even try to read it. i believe english is ever evolving and changing and that's okay... but text-speak isn't a subtle twist. it's a blatant mutilation and i can't read it!! it doesn't...

    If I Said on Here What I Wanted to Say.

    Hygiene Queen replied to DixieRedHead's topic in General Nursing

    Oh yeah, I would be too. Even some of my grouchier posts don't quite convey the annoyance I feel sometimes. I try to show some restraint and maybe even delete more than I post... but honestly! Some...

    Tuition Reimbursement Question ... Advice please!

    Hygiene Queen replied to NurseB_'s topic in General Students

    OP: when a hospital pays for an employee to further their education, they are looking at it as an investment for them. When they gave you that money, they invested in you to become a nurse that they...

    Am I crazy, because this seems VERY WRONG...

    Hygiene Queen replied to Fannie'sMom's topic in General Students

    I find your clinical experience to be disturbing, too. There is so much to see and get your hands on. I had wonderful clinical assignments in a wide variety of areas. I got something out of each of...

    Does my clinical intructor not like me or am I being sensitive?

    Hygiene Queen replied to starrys's topic in General Students

    Yes. I think so. Maybe your instructor felt that your experience with your pt would require the most time to discuss. She wanted to spend more time on your pt's issues, perhaps. Your instructor was...

    Tuition Reimbursement Question ... Advice please!

    Hygiene Queen replied to NurseB_'s topic in General Students

    I think you should fulfill your obligations. I received a scholarship and tuition reimbursement. Then I was handed a full-time benefited daytime position on a platter. Even though I do not have to pay...

    What Is Your Most Gross, Yucky, Disgusting Nursing Horror Story?

    Hygiene Queen replied to yazisizit's topic in Nursing Humor

    You just reminded me of the time a resident peed on her chux. When we rolled her off of it, the pee was in the perfect shape of the Dairy Queen sign. It was so stupid and random, and we were so dang...

    Feeling sick but don't want to call out on first day of orientation

    Hygiene Queen replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    We all know this, but gee... some employers just don't care. And who hasn't shook their heads with a "tsk tsk" when the newbie calls in. You know they are thinking, "sick, my butt!". I'd go in and...

    What info should nurses let a PCT/CNA be aware of?

    Hygiene Queen replied to sh_eany's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I think c-diff could be possibly different. With the over-reliance on hand sanitizers, one would might need to know if a pt has c-diff, just to ensure a good hand scrubbing, but... How about...

    I ♥ downstaffing!

    Hygiene Queen replied to linzjane88's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have money laying around, but I am very very careful with what I have. I love getting called off. You can usually pick up hours later, if you really need

    Why are we as Psych nurses seen as bottom of the barrel?

    Hygiene Queen replied to dreamingofbeing's topic in Psychiatric

    On gero psych, we are up to the armpits in MRSA, VRE and c diff! We do have IVs, fractured hips, dressing changes and heavy ADLs. We call it "mini med-surge"! I like this mix of psych and medical and...

    Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    Hygiene Queen replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    I do fit right in. While I am a new nurse, I have been taking care of patients for over 20 years. I'm not "gonna" be a wonderful caregiver. I am a wonderful caregiver. It is highly annoying to hear...

    on the verge of failing!

    Hygiene Queen replied to Daisy02's topic in General Students

    Please meet with an academic counselor. Do not try to figure it out on your own. Trust me. I know. Make an appointment today!! Also, get an NCLEX book and do the practice tests. Don't be discouraged...

    Will I be able too survive nursing school?

    Hygiene Queen replied to ImScared2BANurse's topic in General Students

    I was always very very artistic. I came out of the womb with a crayon in my hand, I swear! I always excelled in Art, Literature and Humanities... yadda yadda yadda. But when it came to Science......

    TA is rude

    Hygiene Queen replied to futureconfuser's topic in General Students

    Usually, when a student thinks they are being singled out, it turns out that the student has no insight as to how they are actually performing or their behavior toward others. I'm saying this, because...

    From now on the only bed I make will be my own

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

    I respect the OP's post (even though I loved being a CNA). I wish more folks could be brave enough to switch tracks like that. Nothing worse than a miserable CNA. Kudos and cheers,

    Help! Suicide vs. Unmanaged diabetes

    Hygiene Queen replied to jxoxo's topic in General Students

    He may not die on you from ineffective health maintenance, but he sure as heck could die on you when your back is turned when he decides to steal a trash can liner and wrap it around his head. Suicide...

    1st time death for CNA

    Hygiene Queen replied to 12leakec's topic in General Nursing

    not everyone should be saved... nor can they be. we all must die sometime and far better to do it in your own bed with the ones you love by your side than put through the hell of being "saved" in the...

    1st time death for CNA

    Hygiene Queen replied to 12leakec's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes the dying person will hang on. Why? Are they scared? Are they waiting for someone in particular to show up? Who knows? I have said this quite a few times myself. Those words aren't bad...

    Who are all these people dying in your arms?

    Hygiene Queen replied to xtxrn's topic in General Nursing

    THANK YOU for putting words to this!!! Also, I notice some nurses post (usually in vent threads) how they don't have time or are being run into the ground... and they always have to throw in "chest...

    At my wits end...

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

    Send her to psych. I promise you, they won't put up with her crap there. :) Seriously, though, as long as everyone knows what a pest this woman is, then at least everyone knows not to take her...
