    Stupid Rules...

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

    The aide should know who is a DNR. And I don't think a DNR means you let someone choke to death on a piece of chicken. Please correct me if I'm

    Fever and dying

    Hygiene Queen replied to honeybee888's topic in General Nursing

    YES! YES! YES! Feeding dying people... That is my big pet peeve! I know the family may be desperate to comfort or even try to miraculously heal their loved one... but aaaaack! :redlight: STOP!!! Just...

    Unaccredited Nursing School Scams

    Hygiene Queen replied to mcostello2926's topic in General Nursing

    Your fiancee needs to talk to a lawyer. That is the BEST anyone can really do. A lawyer can tell her if she has a case. Bless you both. That's a sad story. A lot of work, money and time... for naught....

    Share The Weirdest Reasons Patients Push The Call Light

    Hygiene Queen replied to RN06-NP09's topic in Nursing Humor

    Where's the button for "I'm-just-bored-and-lonely-and-I'm-going-to-call-you-in-here-all-night-for-no-good-reason"? Or how about a button for,...

    Sleeping on the job.

    Hygiene Queen replied to swon1223's topic in General Nursing

    I find that a wee bit judgmental. I don't think, in most cases, it has to do with "conscience" or "guilt", but sheer monotony of the job (especially sitting with a sleeping patient) on an overnight...

    Did you get their bath done? Seriously?

    Hygiene Queen replied to Bezoars's topic in General Nursing

    I HATE those dang wipes and I won't use them unless I have NO choice! Please give me real washcloths,

    My study partner failed....

    Hygiene Queen replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    It's hard to see people fail. You know it could be you at anytime. With all the blood, sweat and tears put into it... man! I lost study buddies... and study buddies lost me. I'm sure your friend wants...

    Question, about HIPPA

    Hygiene Queen replied to purse's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Are you digging through her chart or sharing any medical info with anyone else? If the answer is "no", you are doing nothing wrong. You can visit your patients. That's okay, but her info stays...

    Telling The Truth: A Nurse Who Stutters

    Hygiene Queen replied to RN0310's topic in General Nursing

    I stutter and stammer too. It is embarrassing to me and gets so much worse when I am tired or stressed. I must force myself to speak more slowly and when I can't get the words out, I see people...

    Are you insulted????

    Hygiene Queen replied to CNABESS's topic in General Nursing

    Ah... the "totem pole". Not everyone is driven to climb it... And frankly... Some people just need to climb up off

    Are you insulted????

    Hygiene Queen replied to CNABESS's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, for the love of it! I'd be insulted if some nurses cannot believe an aide wants to be just that-- an aide. Like being an aide is so lowly and awful, lol! Trust me, I would stay an aide forever, if...

    CNA's/PCTs are worked real hard.

    Hygiene Queen replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, that! Years and years ago my instructor laid it on the line like this: When you, as a CNA, fail to do your job, not only do you fail the human being you were entrusted with AND not only do you...

    CNA's/PCTs are worked real hard.

    Hygiene Queen replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

    True. However, the aide is given specific tasks and they must complete those tasks. The nurse has way too many tasks that cannot be delegated and so... the nurse has to see that those are completed...

    Things Patients Have Taught Me NOT To Do

    Hygiene Queen replied to Trixxy's topic in Nursing Humor

    lol! Or for that matter, don't confuse a generic tube of muscle cream with generic tube of denture adhesive.

    Unit secretary turned tele tech

    Hygiene Queen replied to tokmom's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe this speaks to my level of intelligence... but I know I'm no genius so I'm going to say it anyway: I cannot imagine too many people being able to fully grasp reading strips with a quick "how to"...

    Discussion, please share your opinions on this.

    Hygiene Queen replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't know I was allowed to "break down".

    Discussion, please share your opinions on this.

    Hygiene Queen replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

    "subservient" I disagree. Totally. I was taught to be subservient as an aide, but I absolutely have not been given that impression in nursing school. "uncertain" I disagree. Nursing school would be...

    CNA's/PCTs are worked real hard.

    Hygiene Queen replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

    If you choose a position, you shouldn't complain about it. However, don't think all CNA's are unhappy with their roles. I looooved being a CNA. I loooooved being on the go go go! I have always been...

    How often do you dream/talk in your sleep about nursing stuff?

    Hygiene Queen replied to Despareux's topic in General Students

    I was going through a particularly rough patch in school and was beyond sleep deprived. I was sitting on the couch, reading my text, when I kinda... I dunno... I didn't have my eyes shut yet... but I...

    You know the untouched left over food items on pt trays>

    Hygiene Queen replied to NanikRN's topic in General Nursing

    I've seen people pick their noses and scratch their butts while they eat. The thought that the applesauce, while unopened, might have been touched by nasty hands is enough for me to say, "saving that...
