    Did you ENJOY nursing school?

    Hygiene Queen replied to heartbeep's topic in General Students

    I had some personal issues that I had not anticipated when I got accepted into the program. Life happens. However, I feel those issues negatively impacted my education and made it much harder than it...

    Passing meds after day 4?

    Hygiene Queen replied to meghan91's topic in General Students

    I think we started the second week of clinical. Four days is not unreasonable. If you are going to learn it, you just have to do it. No one is going to let you kill a patient,lol. You don't have to...

    nursing diagnosis for hypertension

    Hygiene Queen replied to nursing2184's topic in General Students

    You can't completely rely on the book. Every patient is unique. If it's not noncompliance, then what are the other issues going on r/t hypertension? If you are struggling to come up with four and...

    Bitter dried up nurses that need to RETIRE

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

    The OP strikes me as manipulative. The OP starts by winding everybody up... and then tries to come across as misunderstood... then very apologetic. It's like playing "rollercoaster" with people's...

    Would you sacrifice to be able to go to nursing school

    Hygiene Queen replied to vintagemother's topic in General Students

    Thanks for your response to me. I feel that women (rightfully) sacrifice for their children, but that often means that they are left in a mess when a man decides move on. Trust me. I have been...

    Hygiene Queen replied to vintagemother's topic in General Students

    I'm with those who say make the sacrifice now. Get nursing school over with ASAP. You will be in a more stable position when you are done. I had only gotten my acceptance letter into nursing school...

    First time as CNA - any advice?

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

    Yes, the sad truth is you have to make sure everything looks good on paper. You don't lie, but you are a slave to documentation. And I'm glad you "still do it"... lol I think, that as you continue...

    How do nurses really feel about CNA/PCTs?

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

    Been there and done it 20 years +. The only time I have ever had conflict, was when you would get the over-the-top power tripping nurse. I can count the number of those I've dealt with on one hand......

    Did getting into nursing school seem like a life altering event?

    Hygiene Queen replied to northmississippi's topic in General Students

    What it takes to get CNA certification

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

    I often shake my head at the lack of common sense and education I sometimes see around me. Too many aides that are complacent and not learning anything more than what they were told the day before....

    questions after looking some things up

    Hygiene Queen replied to cmm4ever's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    There should be a hat in the toilet in their room-- or you will need to get one-- if you must measure the pt's UO. The pt needs to be told that: their urine needs to be measured, to urinate in the hat...
