    Hygiene Queen replied to reginachanana2660's topic in General Nursing

    Lol! I wake up this morning and see you guys were up all night feeding the trolls! Nine pages of troll food!:grn: Wow! Please tell me that was a

    Think back to nursing school...

    Hygiene Queen replied to Jenni811's topic in Nursing Humor

    The beginning of that was funny... it was funny... because it was THE TRUTH!!!

    CNA position as a stepping stone into nursing?

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

    You hit the nail on the head. That, I noticed, is the biggest obstacle of anyone new to nursing. We have our own personal boundaries and put as much space between ourselves and others depending on how...

    The life cycle of a CNA forum member

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

    Well, I'll give 'em the "45 minutes" to toilet a pt... starting out is rough. I crack up when I think of the first time I ever lifted a pt into bed w/ my friend (also a green newbie). The pt darn...

    The life cycle of a CNA forum member

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

    I would hate to see separate forums. I really believe that there is much that pre-CNAs can learn by reading what seasoned aides have to say. I fully admit, it is also for selfish reasons: I love...

    The life cycle of a CNA forum member

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

    Bah! Tell 'em to "go for it!" They won't be sorry! lol! BTW... why is it that all the bumble-butts, that make 6 figures, are "unfulfilled"? Crikeys... if you ain't "fulfilled" with that, ain't nothin'...

    remember when....?

    Hygiene Queen replied to kjpstmb's topic in General Nursing

    Helping the nurse turn a pt onto their side so we could tape the pt's butt cheeks open, lol. The tape stretched from the crack and affixed to the side rail. Then the nurse would set the heat lamp on...

    CNA skills clinical

    Hygiene Queen replied to LolaLo's topic in General Nursing

    The instructor should have corrected you. I'll never understand why some instructors stand by and watch a mistake happen... a lost teaching moment and potentially

    The life cycle of a CNA forum member

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

    What a funny list. I totally missed it when it was first posted. I also wonder, too, how someone can find Allnurses on a search engine, but can't seem to find their nearest community college or a CNA...

    Do your own homework please...

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

    I agree, as well. I was stating that it didn't matter where the information came from. I did not mention it had to be evidence-based, up-to-date and accurate, because I assumed we were all well...

    Do your own homework please...

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

    I have actually, had to rethink my position on those who ask for homework help. I used to be much more judgmental, but I did finally come to the conclusion that, as long as the information is learned,...

    Do your own homework please...

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

    I believe, as long as the answer is found, the source doesn't matter. What is the difference if one reads it in a book, finds it on a search engine or asks a human being? However, I do think that...

    Younger Nursing Students

    Hygiene Queen replied to lhabin's topic in General Students

    Personally, I'd probably have to restrain myself from pinching your cheeks and shrieking, "Awww! He's just a baby!!":yeah: But for the most part, I don't think anyone worries about age. I have not...

    Hygiene Queen replied to tiroka03's topic in General Nursing

    Yep... take it away... but I do think most people know that already. It might be more effective to give the kids a kick in a the.... Wait! Can't do that anymore.........................or can...

    Are you insulted????

    Hygiene Queen replied to CNABESS's topic in General Nursing

    Oh yeah... because it's "just babysitting", eh? Because it doesn't pay, it's "not valuable". What baloney! Funny: everyone will knock someone who has a "lowly" job... until they need their services....

    Are you insulted????

    Hygiene Queen replied to CNABESS's topic in General Nursing

    It is a shame that doing something you love and are good at... and continuing to do that, is seen as a lack of ambition. My boyfriend's mother was a nurses' assistant many many years ago. When she...

    Patronizing coworkers!

    Hygiene Queen replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Bah! Those who brag about how many people they can put to bed or get up blah blah blah! It's about quality not quantity. I could get 50 people into bed in 2 hours, myself... but with what quality?...

    Epic Fail

    Hygiene Queen replied to taalyn_1's topic in General Students

    Well, you can either be behind... and graduate late... and become a nurse. Or you can give up... never graduate... and never become a nurse... and regret it later. Me, personally, am a whole year...

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

    I'm going to be very vocal. I just don't like the feel your post is giving me. I think your boyfriend sounds like a fool. You take care of the home and work hard and try to keep him happy. You sound...

    Hygiene Queen replied to yajaira21's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm glad you're not giving up. If you give up now, you will never be a nurse later. The more you fight, the better your chances.! Now go get

    Times to repeat course or re-enter program

    Hygiene Queen replied to AOx1's topic in General Students

    I don't know, but would be very curious to know, myself. I do know, that if a student must go before the board, that student better be able to state: what their problem was, what have they been doing...

    Times to repeat course or re-enter program

    Hygiene Queen replied to AOx1's topic in General Students

    We can fail one course... the second fail is the boot. But we may petition to go before the board, state our case, and get back in. If we fail after that, we are completely done. All options...

    Keep failing checkoffs

    Hygiene Queen replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    There are some really good videos on Youtube. Try to watch them, especially just before you do your return. Visualize yourself doing the task and doing it confidently. Pretend you are teaching it to...

    I'll place bets the OP is having the same trouble I had. I'm sure she grasps the material, but the testing style is the problem. I know I was very frustrated with people who tried to imply I didn't...
