    Sticky fingers-stealing other people's food/office supplies

    Hygiene Queen replied to Black Jade's topic in General Nursing

    There was once a rather gross person who used to drink out of other people's coffee mugs at work. Staff would find their mugs in weird places throughout the building (smoker's lounge, laundry,...

    You're asking me what??

    Hygiene Queen replied to yooper13's topic in General Students

    Most of your education will come from hands-on experience on the floor. It's the best way to learn but you need a foundation to work from. You are getting the foundation in class and clinical. Also,...

    If you have one more shot... take it!! If you don't, you will never know how things may have turned out for you. Stay positive and work on your problem areas. Wishing you the

    The Made Incredibly Easy books

    Hygiene Queen replied to SunshineDaisy's topic in General Students

    The F&E, ECG and NCLEX books were helpful. F&E was a required text for us. I found several of theses books and similar books at my local Goodwill, so I could afford to get many supplemental...

    Hygiene Queen replied to rocketsurgeon87's topic in General Students

    Yes, you are down, but who's kicking? You posted your story and many of us see a problem. Either you never learned the basic things you needed to learn or something is interfering with your ability to...

    Duct tape anyone?

    Hygiene Queen replied to tokmom's topic in General Nursing

    I was training a smarty pants who told a visitor, "Oh, this job is sooo easy I have time to do nothing, ha ha ha!" I felt an explosion go off in my brain and I barely contained myself. I was...

    Hygiene Queen replied to rocketsurgeon87's topic in General Students

    Nursing school is for learning and making mistakes, but I think we also assume that the mistakes that happen should never be life-threatening ones nor so fundamental that it's ridiculous. Of...

    Someone has to stay!!!!!

    Hygiene Queen replied to anotherone's topic in General Nursing

    Ha! What's funny is the schedule coordinators swear up and down left and right that they "called everybody" and are "desperate"... But everyone you know never got a call asking them to work. I would...

    Someone has to stay!!!!!

    Hygiene Queen replied to anotherone's topic in General Nursing

    You know, I don't mind staying extra when something unexpected comes up. People get sick, accidents happen and stuff like that. Can't be helped. What frosts my buns, is when I'm being given the...

    How much they pay hourly for Psychiatric Techs? DC-MD-VA area

    Hygiene Queen replied to msAnneRN11's topic in Psychiatric

    I started at $13 (with a long CNA background) as a tech in 2005. Our BHA's (have their bachelor's in psych) started out at $15. I think the pay off in December is worth the $14/h now. You will have...

    Going green makes me red in the face

    Hygiene Queen replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    You took the words right out of my mouth. It's a way of saving a buck by taking away your needs (in order to get your job done) in a way they (think) makes them look noble. It's revolting. I don't...

    Just want to share

    Hygiene Queen replied to BA_anthropology's topic in General Students

    No. It's a violation of everyone's sanity on this board when folks post about "HIPPA". It's not "HIPPA". Before you jump on someone about violating it, learn how to spell it... and it's helpful to...

    Gossiping in the hospital

    Hygiene Queen replied to Monica08's topic in General Nursing

    I have found this to be true everywhere that I have worked. My favorite strategy was to keep my mouth shut and play dumb... but then people would tell me stuff because "Hygiene doesn't talk about...

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

    Hygiene Queen replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    I was always flabbergasted by the complete lack of respect of students who ask other students about their grades. To me, personally, this was always the most offensive faux pas a fellow classmate...

    What's the task you like doing most on the job?

    Hygiene Queen replied to PreStudent101's topic in General Nursing

    Oral care. I don't know why, but I feel great satisfaction pulling out gunk and scrubbing off goo and putting a little balm on their lips. I almost went to school for dental hygiene, btw

    Hypothyroidism & Nursing School?

    Hygiene Queen replied to sugarmagnoliaRN's topic in General Students

    When I can, I take a bath with baby oil. I know some would find fault with this, but it really helps my skin. I do this once or twice a week. Otherwise, I used a good quality cream or lotion w/o...

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

    Hygiene Queen replied to dreamingofbeing's topic in Psychiatric

    I straight-out said that I went to nursing school to do 4 specific things: 1) support myself 2) work with the elderly 3) work with the mentally ill 4) teach CNA class. Each and every single one of...

    Is it OK to dance with a client?

    Hygiene Queen replied to neurontin's topic in Psychiatric

    We've played music and cracked out the maracas and funny hats. If you give a manic pt maracas, they will shake the living h** outta 'em... but it also keeps their hands off each
