    Required Nursing Uniform

    Hygiene Queen replied to pbstrums's topic in General Nursing

    Whoa. I don't know what some decision makers are thinking when they pick colors. Somebody mentioned techs and secs wear MAGENTA? What if those employees were male? I don't think any man wants to...

    Hygiene Queen replied to Riseupandnurse's topic in General Nursing

    And never mind the the folks makings these decisions to cut back are NOT the folks the patients see nor care about. But these decision makers, no doubt, will cont. to keep their jobs and cont. to...

    Nursing School: Did you GAIN or LOSE weight?

    Hygiene Queen replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Nursing

    So true, yesdog! And we are all certainly educated enough to know better than to fall into unhealthy eating habits. I'm surprised anyone would comment on somebody's weight gain, unless there was...

    Nursing School: Did you GAIN or LOSE weight?

    Hygiene Queen replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Nursing

    Oh yeah, I remember getting that whole lecture in orientation about a good diet and plenty of rest to keep your energy up. Blah, blah, blah!!! I've watched school turn some nice health-conscious folks...

    Hygiene Queen replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Nursing

    Yup, I slept until 0900 today and thought my whole day was WASTED!!! Holy cow! After all those mornings of getting up at 0400 after going to bed at 0200, I feel like a complete lazy

    Nursing School: Did you GAIN or LOSE weight?

    Hygiene Queen replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Nursing

    I do that too. My classmates thought I was kooky because I'd park clear across campus and never take the elevator. I figure I can't complain about gaining weight if I make no effort to somehow...

    Nursing School: Did you GAIN or LOSE weight?

    Hygiene Queen replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Nursing

    I lost 20 lbs. Extreme stress causes me to lose my appetite and have diarrhea. I was working, going to school and stressing over my divorce and the children... oh and that stupid clinical paperwork...

    Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

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

    I know, "Mrs. Selfish Princess", that you think your situation is sooooooooo unique nobody "understands". "Nobody" knows the depth of your hurt. That's why you are acting like a 50 year-old brat...

    Another Outrageous Visitor Thread

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

    I told this before on another thread, but it is still my favorite... Had a pt that pooped allllllll down the hallway. I literally had poop in each hand as I desperately tried to clean it up as quick...

    No More Fingersticks for Techs!!

    Hygiene Queen replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    As long as the tech understands the WHY of reporting abnormals, why shouldn't they do fingersticks? It's like vitals. Understanding WHY should behoove the tech to report their findings with...

    Decided to go Medical Assistant and discouraged

    Hygiene Queen replied to coffee4metech's topic in General Nursing

    Some of those MA courses are from schools that are waaaay expensive but sound like they are worth it because you can get through them quickly. The problem is that they are not accredidated (sp?) and...

    how do you keep your sexy??

    Hygiene Queen replied to healthcarefome's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, there is a time where certain sexy looks must STOP. What is sexy for one age group is NOT sexy for another. I can make a million jokes along these lines, but I'll be good and let it slide.... for...

    how do you keep your sexy??

    Hygiene Queen replied to healthcarefome's topic in General Nursing

    Nobody cares how we look... as long as we bathe regularly. The OP just wanted to feel good about herself for herself. Nothing wrong with that. We got off-topic at times, but that, I believe was the...

    how do you keep your sexy??

    Hygiene Queen replied to healthcarefome's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think they were referring to young ladies, such as yourself. I'll assume that at 26 you still have elasticity to your skin, boobs still in their proper place, no age spots and are not trying...

    how do you keep your sexy??

    Hygiene Queen replied to healthcarefome's topic in General Nursing

    I got a kick out of that. A young 20-something laddie was helping me hold down an extremely strong, big and violent male patient. We were both sweating, just PRAYING for the RN to hurry back with an...

    Freaky Things

    Hygiene Queen replied to ThrowEdNurse's topic in Emergency

    Ooooho-ho-ho! Man! I tell ya, it's those little things that get me. I would have had every hair standing on my body. I told a story on the "best ghost story" thread: "I was putting "Edna" to bed one...

    Share your "problem patient" stories!

    Hygiene Queen replied to nitenite's topic in Nursing Humor

    Had a confused old guy who was always into something. He used to be a crafter of eye prostheses. Yes, he made glass eyes. Anyway, he loved to work with his hands. If something could be dismantled,...

    No Nursing Care?

    Hygiene Queen replied to CNA_Timmy's topic in General Nursing

    I would stay a CNA if I could be paid more... no doubt about it. I always said, "Nurses get the money, but CNA's get the fun

    Life just sucks sometimes.

    Hygiene Queen replied to Thanet's topic in Psychiatric

    That was a most excellent post. I found it a little late in the game, but hey, that's fine. It's like my mom said, "Everyone thinks they are entitled to happy all the time" and it's just not true....

    Hygiene Queen replied to Trixxy's topic in Nursing Humor

    I had faith you knew really knew what I meant... but after re-reading what I wrote, I thought I'd best clarify! Out hospital is BIG on CBT... pts do seem to get a lot out of it. And you just made me...
