    difference in nurse ed

    Hygiene Queen replied to okchug's topic in General Nursing

    okchug: no, the clinical hours are not always well spent. and don't anyone tell me, "you get out what you put in" because sometimes that's like getting blood from a turnip. what about getting...

    Anyone else feel like they don't know anything?

    Hygiene Queen replied to ornurse25's topic in General Nursing

    It makes it worse when you work with someone who always seems to know everything: "Why, yes, I can tell you. It's the snuff-la-turk-ceeka bonding with diddy-daddy-diddums on the 4th intercostal...

    Feel pressured to do 2 people transfer alone

    Hygiene Queen replied to CelesteR903's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Always use good judgment instead of following blindly. Should anything go wrong, because you went against your better judgment and education and "did it because they told me to", you will find that...

    Just a 'butt-wiper'

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

    I just had to go through and kudos all the post concerning the mother's encouraging hateful and rude behavior in a child. How unfair for a mother to set her child up to fail like that. Perhaps this...

    Electrical cord inside the Foley, pt from ICU

    Hygiene Queen replied to Asystole RN's topic in General Nursing

    Holy cow! That was hilarious! I would have split a gut over that nurse's humorless reaction! Nothing funnier than a humorless person being had!

    Where did you hear that?

    Hygiene Queen replied to SpEdtacular's topic in General Nursing

    I had a pt have a fit because I was doing her EKG. She couldn't believe anyone less than a doctor (and heaven forbid! a PCT) would do an EKG. She thought I was going to electrocute her! I tried to...

    I just have to say this....

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

    Shoot! I used to work in a LTC like this. Beautiful building. Incredible staffing. Fabulous staff Christmas parties (we've won TVs and cruises at the party raffle!). Christmas bonuses. Administration...

    The charting dilemma

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

    Not to be nit-picky... but we don't have a license, we have a certification. It doesn't matter if your coworkers fall to the floor and pitch a fit. You never put your initials to something you did...

    partial bed bath/gathering supplies

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

    That makes sense because you are always going to clean from the cleanest area to the dirtiest area. That is universal no matter what state you are in. I always find these posts about the state exams...

    not enough aids-mostly a vent

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

    this is a solid truth! if every aide had this mentality, everything would get done and done with quality. we used to take on pt's and tasks that weren't ours, all the time, because the favor would...

    Awesomeness at work

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

    I had the same thing happen to me. I happened to walk into a room and hear two aides making the accusation. They came to that conclusion because one knew I had never had a boyfriend (at that time......

    Is making friends in school important?

    Hygiene Queen replied to CourtneyLR's topic in General Students

    I don't think anyone said that there was an inability to make friends or work as a team. I'm sure we all know how to do both. Dry your

    What should I do about the patient from hell?

    Hygiene Queen replied to mountain_biker_88's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Amen. And it also allows you to leave with your dignity intact. I'm sure I'm not alone when I say I've felt stupid and angry at myself for letting a "hell" pt get to me... and for the that pt to have...

    Is lack of attention to "The primary purpose" killing the medical field?

    I thoroughly enjoyed that post! You put into words what I have thought many times and I found your friend's experience with the laundromat, not only interesting, but a fabulous comparison to what is...

    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

    Um... Yeppers... Because the supervisor will never find out that you are spending your time at work on FB, telling friends, "@wrk im bord text it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". It's only the frickin' frackin'...

    Critical Care Drug Reference Guide?

    Hygiene Queen replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    I always go with the idea that you can never have too many books. Some are more helpful than others in any given situation. If it will not cause you a financial hardship, why not get it? It certainly...

    What should I do about the patient from hell?

    Hygiene Queen replied to mountain_biker_88's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    She may be alert and oriented, but the fact she has a psych nurse is a big red flag. Does she, indeed, have a personality disorder? Doesn't matter how "with it" she is. If she is borderline, for...

    Are you a sensitive person too?

    Hygiene Queen replied to glutton4punishment's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. Perfect. I could have written that myself. I definitely "feel" people and it is my strongest "talent", I guess you can say, with my patients (and the people around me, in general). I am freaky...
