    Hygiene Queen replied to sicushells's topic in General Nursing

    Most Embarassing Nursing Moments

    Hygiene Queen replied to Jessiedog's topic in Nursing Humor

    Hygiene Queen replied to Jessiedog's topic in Nursing Humor

    I used to work in a LTC. We had a pt who was dying. Her daughter asked if she could spend the night in the empty bed in the pt's room. We said "no problem". Unfortunately, we had an aide who...

    Every other weekend- what century are we in?

    Hygiene Queen replied to lizva101's topic in General Nursing

    When you go into a job, you accept what the job is. There are no miraculous recoveries for pts on weekends and holidays. Someone must be there for them... if that's me, well, I signed up for it....

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

    I HAVE to add this after yesterday at work... Thank you for telling me that your poor demented hubby has to "poop". I hear you and I'm taking care of it NOW (I'm no fool). But after I have managed...
