    Fundies is killing me

    Hygiene Queen replied to wannabmidwife's topic in General Students

    The tests killed me. I now got on the Evolve website and register as many text books as I can. You can find your school texts, find the subjects you are studying, and take practice NCLEX style...

    Get through it without laughing - dare ya

    Hygiene Queen replied to netglow's topic in Emergency

    Yes. That was it. The guy is so earnest yet he's unintentionally funny... it's unintentional so it it's funny... It's a mix of over-earnestness, exaggerated facial expressions and his weenie voice......

    Nursing Diagnosis- NO MORE??

    Hygiene Queen replied to Rachey467's topic in General Students

    Wow, never heard the "consumer" thing before. I work in mental health, and we call them "patients"! I always say "patient" in my care plans, too. Again, I have never been corrected, and I'm sure it's...

    Nursing Diagnosis- NO MORE??

    Hygiene Queen replied to Rachey467's topic in General Students

    Are you kidding??? Why can't be both nurturing and science focused? How can you be an effective nurse without pathophysiology? What do the mighty want? Do they want to be just like medicine and have...

    Nursing Diagnosis- NO MORE??

    Hygiene Queen replied to Rachey467's topic in General Students

    While choosing the "correct" nursing diagnosis becomes easier, the more you do it (in school), the sad fact is... that one diagnosis does not really tell you anything. "Impaired Tissue Perfusion"...

    Is it okay for a CNA to call herself a nurse?

    Hygiene Queen replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I strongly disagree. When I became an aide, waaaaaaaaay back in the day, the aides wore white from head to toe. We wore uniforms, not scrubs. We wore dresses and white stockings. We looked like...

    is it wrong to sit on a patients bed?

    Hygiene Queen replied to LPNweezy's topic in General Nursing

    I do it when it just seems right. I used to do it all the time when I used to feed people in bed. The only problem I ever had was realizing the bed was wet :uhoh21: Anyway, I go with what my instincts...

    worst death you've seen

    Hygiene Queen replied to Darkfield's topic in General Nursing

    That is positively horrifying. Bless that child's heart. The sheer horror and panic of her last moments. I swear I felt it when I read that. And I don't think I could have gone on living had I been...

    Dear new CNA's

    Hygiene Queen replied to reussir1's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I think part of the problem with these questions, is that a lot of people don't bother to see if their question is answered in an older post first. I believe that is good forum "etiquette", I guess...

    Expectations

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

    When I first started, I was chewed up and spit out. Made me work harder to prove myself. The first time I saw a "mess", it was a steaming hot BM dropped from a pt in a steaming hot shower room. I...

    Dear new CNA's

    Hygiene Queen replied to reussir1's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The smells don't last too long if they're are taken care of right away. How many of us have run around the facility tracking down "that smell"? lol It's like a game to figure out who did it or......

    how do you wear your hair when going to work as a cna

    Hygiene Queen replied to cnamommyto2's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I wear it up. Always. In fact, I'm so used to wearing it up, I never wear it down-- even outside of work. It drives me nuts to feel it on my neck! I wear red lipstick so I don't look like the dead...

    Can someone explain how to survive doing cna work

    Hygiene Queen replied to meo814's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Yes, siree! My coworkers once took a picture of me with my butt in the air while swiping under the vending machine for a couple of quarters I usually found enough for a Snickers. Hey, if you don't...

    Is it a good idea to pursue the psychiatric field of nursing?

    Hygiene Queen replied to Jay:)'s topic in General Students

    If you are good at handling pts who are escalating, then you would be great in psych. That ability is absolutely essential. If you have LTC experience, then gero psych would be perfect. I worked in...

    Are Nursing instructors to blame for creating nursing stereotypes?

    Hygiene Queen replied to Certifiable's topic in General Students

    I think, sometimes, we need to think outside of what's "PC" to give certain patients reassurance... or work with the patient in

    Hygiene Queen replied to Certifiable's topic in General Students

    Maybe the introduction of "sweet and nice" was something your instructor knew would be comforting to that particular patient. Just a

    Am I still up for nursing?

    Hygiene Queen replied to havehope's topic in General Nursing

    You get used to being on your feet. You don't ever sit. Good shoes, good socks... and, personally, I use support stockings (but I'm an old fart now). Bonus: you run around so much that you get a...

    Stupid Rules...

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

    I'm sorry. My post was poorly written. I was not implying that you thought CPR and the Heimlich were the same thing. I think everyone here knows the difference. I'm just here trying to decompress...

    Stupid Rules...

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

    I'd quit. No way I'd stand by and let someone choke to death. No way I wouldn't start CPR if the pt were not a DNR. That just goes against the
