  1. Male Chest Hair and Scrub Tops

    dannyc12 replied to Thunderwolf's topic in General Nursing

    I think scrubs demand a T shirt or other undergarment for both sexes. If a hairy chested guy goes t-shirtless (or wears a wifebeater), then gold chains and a Media mustache should be mandatory...

  7. about what % of CNA's have back injuries?

    dannyc12 replied to michelle_d's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The injury rate is somewhere between 99.5% and 100% Studies show that body mechanics is not a primary factor in back injury rates. No amount of body mechanics is going to allow a 115 pound person to...

    dannyc12 replied to dlissa74's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds exactly like life at my old facility. CNAs who think they run the place and don't have to listen to anyone. The hell of it is - they are right. They do run the place and are accountable to...

    dannyc12 replied to TCLA's topic in General Nursing

  14. Home Care Aides: Stay busy?

    dannyc12 replied to CrazierThanYou's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    This sounds like some very good feedback for your case managers (not your fellow HHAs). You should be documenting on your visit notes what you did and how you spent your time in the home. Your notes...

    dannyc12 replied to Daysleeper's topic in General Nursing

  17. As a Nurse what are some things that make you sick?

    dannyc12 replied to Josh.P's topic in General Nursing

    No, it is not just doing it. The key is the context. Whatever situation you are in, you will have a role to perform and I am assuming that role will not to be to point at the patient and yell,...

    dannyc12 replied to silentRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Yes, that Republican majority of 41-59 does seem insurmountable. As Jon Stewart put it, Bush II didn't have near the numbers the Democrats now have in Congress when he did "WHAT EVER the **** he...

    dannyc12 replied to silentRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    No one stated otherwise. You should probably try pointing out the reasons why you think the health care reform efforts underway are, as you put it, "bad." A discussion on the merits of your...

  22. Prayer as a Nursing Intervention

    dannyc12 replied to TOYMECH's topic in General Nursing
