    Have U ever left a job after a short Period? Why?

    Hygiene Queen replied to DaretoDreamRN's topic in General Nursing

    RN's/CNA's...what's with this attitude?

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

    A CNA is literally an extension of the nurse. Where the nurse cannot use her own two hands to care for a patient, because the nurse has to deal with tasks that cannot be delegated, the CNA will be...

    Clothing issues/malfunctions.

    Hygiene Queen replied to THAT Nurse.'s topic in Nursing Humor

    When we used to have to wear white, it was not uncommon that there would be occasion to pull one of our co-workers aside and whisper, "you've had an accident!" We never were mean about it. It...

    Offended by pt- how to react?

    Hygiene Queen replied to LDJRN's topic in General Nursing
