    Nurses who don't have the "passion"

    Hygiene Queen replied to My_toe_sis's topic in General Nursing

    Others have pointed out the possibility of burn-out. I'd also like to point out the possibility that maybe those nurses just happen to be rude-- and would continue to be rude-- even if they worked in...

    Do you find some RNs to be needy?

    Hygiene Queen replied to ariel285's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    What's an RCM? Not sure what to think. I understand your unit was bombarded with admissions, but it if was crazy busy for the aides, I can assure you it was for the nurses as well. So, because the...

    Anyone doing it for the money and stability?

    Hygiene Queen replied to WCSU1987's topic in General Nursing

    I do it because I can work part-time and have healthcare benefits. If this were not the case, I would not be there. Part-time left me time to take on a ridiculously easy nursing side job so that I get...

    Admissions!

    Hygiene Queen replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    I work inpatient psych. We have an admissions nurse who floats around the hospital doing admissions. When we need her, we give her a call-- especially if it's going to be complicated and...

    When our older nurses die :(

    Hygiene Queen replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I remember a nurse I liked so much. She passed away several years ago and I was sorry I did not hear of it at the time. Totally would have went to her funeral. She was also trained by nuns and still...

    Epic care plans and goals

    This is the frustrating part. Everyone knows it's

    Epic care plans and goals

    Hygiene Queen replied to djamies's topic in General Nursing

    I hate those care plans so much. So, we're supposed to create a care plan on the patient's goal, and this gets to be ridiculous in Psych. "So, Bob, what's your goal?" "To get the hell out of here,...

    Nursing student asks nurses the question..

    Hygiene Queen replied to 2bNurseDR.T's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe the nurse shouldn't have yelled, but if she was already logged into that computer, I can see where she may have been frustrated. Our computers can be slower than dirt and trying to get logged...

    Abuse?.?!? Help!

    Hygiene Queen replied to mrs.hood's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm sorry, but I'm confused. Did you hear the orientee saying this or not? If you heard it, you needed to tell her to cool it and report her. I worked in an LTC where if somebody even so much as...

    What type of soap do you use?

    Hygiene Queen replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    I also have hypothyroidism. I use Dove, Olay or Caress. I prefer bars over body wash because I love the texture of a nice beauty bar! I also apply pure coconut oil to my skin after my bath or shower,...

    Are nurses generally more attractive

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

    I think I'm at most most attractive, as a nurse, when I have a poop smear on my knee from catching a naked and confused gero mid-fall. I cannot tell you how many handsome doctors have wanted to swoop...

    I Made an Absolute 'No-No" Mistake :(

    Hygiene Queen replied to frustratedRN16's topic in General Nursing

    That must have been a terrible shift to have compelled you to do that. I hurt for you because I know I have been in the position of being berated constantly by patients. After awhile, you do feel like...

    Doctor's order

    Hygiene Queen replied to Fura's topic in Philippines

    Thank goodness, because I know we have gotten nurses on here before asking questions of us on the internet instead of asking their coworkers I would have asked the resident if "continue the present...

    What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    Hygiene Queen replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    I did private duty for a lady who was a hoot. I loved taking care of her! Anyway, after tucking her into bed after our usual night together, I gave her peck on the forehead and said, "Goodbye, Marie"....

    Doctor's order

    Hygiene Queen replied to Fura's topic in Philippines

    What did you do? Because I'm assuming you pursued some course of action before asking your question here. I'm assuming you are looking for some feedback on what you already did. I refuse to believe...

    Feeling like I'm doing everything wrong lately

    Hygiene Queen replied to littleINlpn's topic in School

    This is how I've been feeling lately. In fact I told my boss, "It's ridiculous! If someone is having a life-threatening emergency, oh! We run to the nurse and trust her judgement... yet my judgement...

    Obese Nurses

    Farawyn, it's her "huge little friends". Don't forget the little part... it conveys a much more loving

    Let's Talk about you!

    Hygiene Queen replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

    Well, I was going to be an Art teacher. I was naturally gifted and even when I was really young, I was praised for my abilities. I was very proud of it... but I was always an underachiever and had no...

    Meaning of your username?

    Hygiene Queen replied to Flightless Bird's topic in General Nursing

    Well, ya know, she claims she came home all hot and sweaty because it was humid and they had to put the rubber buggy top

    Doctors answering services

    Hygiene Queen replied to menot's topic in General Nursing

    I have never gotten a rude operator. I have gotten one or two that I could guess were new and maybe nervous, but never rude. They have always sounded professional. I've often wondered how stressful...

    Meaning of your username?

    Hygiene Queen replied to Flightless Bird's topic in General Nursing

    Ah, Little House on the Prairie! I think the show was awful, but I loved those books soooo much. I still crack 'em out once in awhile and I've always enjoyed learning about how things really were,...

    Meaning of your username?

    Hygiene Queen replied to Flightless Bird's topic in General Nursing

    I was dubbed "The Hygiene Queen" because I was/am very very picky about the hygiene and grooming of my patients. When I was an aide, you could tell which patients were mine, just by the way they...

    Bad Facility Or Am I Crazy?

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

    It's been awhile since you posted. How are you doing now? Your staff-to-resident ratios sound decent and were similar to when I was an aide, however, 12 residents was pushing it and 8-10 was the norm....

    How to stay looking neat

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

    I wish more people working in healthcare would ask this question, but it seems some people just don't care. Whenever I go for a check-up, I do notice what the staff looks like. There is one particular...
