    How do your pronounce "peds"?

    Hygiene Queen replied to Strawberrygirl2's topic in General Nursing

    I think I just did, too, when I read that.

    What do you always have in your scrub pockets?

    Hygiene Queen replied to Lilbit's topic in General Students

    Oh yeah! I forgot about my saline flushes! Holy cow... no wonder I always feel like my pants are ready to fall down! Emptying my pockets when I get home is like doing a magic trick. I just keep...

    What do you always have in your scrub pockets?

    Hygiene Queen replied to Lilbit's topic in General Students

    Penlight, bandage scissors, alcohol wipes, mini bottle of hand sanitizer, extra gloves, mini temporal thermometer (I hate chasing down the thermometer... wish I had my own pulse-ox too!), mini drug...

    Have you ever been insulted for what you do?

    Hygiene Queen replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

    I had told a friend, a nurse, that I wanted to be a nurse in psych. He laughed, "Why?? That's were old nurses go to die!!" And the first time I met my former mother-in-law. She was aghast that I was...

    TMI

    Hygiene Queen replied to Poi Dog's topic in General Nursing

    Ugh! You reminded me of the time all the aides were discussing... of all things... their periods, as loud as they could, right in the middle of the dining room while the residents were eating. I was...

    Always be nice to your coworkers...

    Hygiene Queen replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    It's wonderful to hear about thoughtful coworkers, for a change. We create our own good fortune, sometimes. I bet you'll especially enjoy every drop! Cheers!

    Anyone worked as CNA while pregnant?

    Hygiene Queen replied to klynn81's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I had no problems working while pregnant. I did have to prop my legs up, on break, d/t the swelling. The only bad thing, for me, was the heartburn! Dear Lord, but did I want to cry when I had to bend...

    What to do when you literally HATE your classmates?

    Hygiene Queen replied to MamaSquared's topic in General Students

    Most people do get along. We learned how to do it in kindergarten. The ones that complain about the quality of people in their class are usually the ones with the issues. They wear their disdain like...

    Do hospital patients get better care if they're nice

    Hygiene Queen replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. Some jerk-rod down the hall was sucking up all of your nurse's time. J/K Your nurse may have had an unstable pt to worry about or something time consuming that needed to be done now. Being a...

    Back injuries

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

    Use the cotton-pickin' lift. Who cares if the other aides pitch a fit? Hot diggity! How is everyone's body mechanics? I'm appalled by the lifting techniques and body mechanics I've been seeing. Talk...

    Nursing Diagnosis (NANDA format)

    Hygiene Queen replied to raaraa's topic in General Students

    I think you are on the right track, as far as starting out, is concerned. These need work, but so does everyone's in the beginning. #1 jumps out at me as being sort of wonky: "Risk for falls...

    Games to play with a large group during psych rotation?

    Hygiene Queen replied to lef75's topic in General Students

    Exactly. This is the most difficult part of planning activities for the psych crowd. And if you have just one pt who is in that very "superior" and/or "negative" mode, they can be like poison to the...

    Games to play with a large group during psych rotation?

    Hygiene Queen replied to lef75's topic in General Students

    Can you possibly incorporate a med compliance theme into a bingo game? I know it may sound cheesy, but if you are hard pressed to come up with something, bingo cards are easily made and maybe each...

    "Students with good grades = not good clinical nurses"

    Hygiene Queen replied to cogath's topic in General Students

    Could it come down to a difference in learning styles? Those who learn by reading and lecture thrive in the classroom and those who learn by doing thrive in clinical? Some folks can do both... that's...

    "Students with good grades = not good clinical nurses"

    Hygiene Queen replied to cogath's topic in General Students

    That is extremely rude. I just say, "I did alright", but I have used that whether I've gotten a good or a bad grade. I don't see what purpose it serves to compare, except it's someone's ego feed. I...

    Mouth to mouth without barrier?

    Hygiene Queen replied to Southern Magnolia's topic in General Students

    You could carry one of those little key-chain barriers. You've probably seen them. They literally go on your key-chain so that you have a barrier ready for an emergency anywhere. Keep it in your...

    Ok, what's the real deal with new grads?

    Hygiene Queen replied to future nurse1's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I do believe we do not hear about those who find employment. They are content. They are not frustrated... so, no, you will not hear the "motivated" and the "smart" vent. You are only hearing...

    The life cycle of a CNA forum member

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

    I used to have a journal. I read recently, too. Then I burned it. I was so horrified... I had to get rid of the

    "Students with good grades = not good clinical nurses"

    Hygiene Queen replied to cogath's topic in General Students

    My question is: how does anyone even know if you are an "A" student or not? Wouldn't it be better just to keep it

    Does your nursing school/hospital provide scrubs/uniforms?

    Hygiene Queen replied to Certifiable's topic in General Students

    Yes. And the other bonus is that you have an endless choice of fabrics and prints to choose from. You could have a top for every holiday, sports team, cartoon character... whatever you would want and...

    Does your nursing school/hospital provide scrubs/uniforms?

    Hygiene Queen replied to Certifiable's topic in General Students

    My school makes us buy our own. They are the most hideous scrubs on this green earth. The fabric is hot and the color is ugly. As soon as I put it on, I immediately look pale, pasty and sick. The cut...
