Is That Lifestyle Even Healthy? Sometimes I wonder how people can think that it is even healthy to be a slob. There are several different types of people in this world but when it comes to slobs some people can have low tolerance for it. When you work in the medical field you are supposed to be in an environment that is sterile and clean all around you. When you throw a slop into the mix of that, it definitely throws off the whole purpose of trying to be sterile or clean. A slob in my terms is someone who is lazy, doesn’t pick up after themselves, and is good for nothing but laying around not doing anything to better themselves. Slobs could easily fix how they do things but if someone doesn’t want to change, they are not going to change! Working with a slob has got to be one of the most annoying things that I have ever had to deal with. You never expect to pull the slack of someone else while you are already trying to pull your own weight in the office. There is so many different things that you have to remember while working in the medical field and being clean is one of them. After every patient you have to clean the rooms and when you see thirty-five to forty patients in one
Not only do they not care about what everything around them looks like, they don’t care about what they look like. Regardless to signing an employee handbook that specifically states that we have to keep up on our self-hygiene, and come to work looking nice, we still have that one co-worker that comes to work looking like they just rolled out of bed. Granted it would be a different story if it were an every once in a while type of thing. Then again when it is an everyday thing, it should be talked about with the employee. I don’t believe that low self-hygiene should be taken lightly, especially when it comes to working in surgery and in an office that is supposed to be high in
One of my philosophies is I mentor all my staff members to grow with the company. I would expect they are eager to learn and grow. The best thing we can do for our patients is have low turnover this is something patients do not understand and a common issue for some offices. Patients appreciate seeing the same Doctor, Hygienist, and Care
Ankle sprains are one of the most common musculoskeletal injuries and are especially relevant at all level of sport.1 Of all sports, the incidence of ankle sprain is higher in volleyball considering its non-contact nature.2 The most common ankle sprain occurs on the lateral or outside part of the ankle.3 Reports estimate that ankle sprains account for approximately 24% to 54% of all sport-related injuries and 23,000 persons get them per day in the United States.4
How would you feel if your devoted dog was discriminated against based only on what he looked like? Canine breed discrimination is a real problem in today’s society in the United States. There is always an enormous amount of hype when one hears about a dog attack. The first thing people want to know is what kind of dog was involved in the attack. That breed of dog then gets labeled as “dangerous”, quietly forcing people to change their opinion on a certain breed based on an action of only a couple of dogs.
Who is Rob? You could say he is just an average guy going about his daily routines, but he's not just any ordinary guy. The life of Rob is a rolling rollercoaster of excitement, from battling fish in the open ocean of the pacific, to skiing the slopes of Utah on a daily basis or from quading the sand dunes of Oregon to hiking the cliffs of the Na Pali Coast.
A person must have the self-confidence and approval for themselves before they even have the right to look at others and judge them. That self-confidence must be gained through self-reflection and a positive environment. Most people believe that low self-esteem and not having confidence is just a person being “bummed out”. However, it is actually viewed as an official mental health and thinking disorder by many doctors and universities across the globe. “Once [A low self-esteem] is formed, this negative view permeates every thought, producing faulty assumptions and ongoing self-defeating behavior.” (Insert citation). Low self-esteem is most common among high school age students or teenagers who are plagued by the judging from dozens to hundreds of other students. All of these students were raised that it is okay to blatantly judge others in a sickening way. This judging can lead to depression, self-harm, and sometimes even suicide. According to (Author 3), “Among high school students, 44% of girls and 15% of guys are attempting to lose weight. Over 70% of girls age 15 to 17 avoid normal daily activities, such as attending school, when they feel bad about their looks.” (Insert Citation). If programs were made and enforced upon to encourage all body types in a positive way, self-love would be encouraged and people could attempt to lose weight in a much healthier
Can taking exams cause much stress on students? There is such thing as exam stress. The stress includes disturbed sleep patterns, tiredness, worrying, irregular eating habits, increased infections, and inability to concentrate (Dunford, 2014). Would our society be better off without final exams? A final exam is an examination administered at the end of an academic term. Neil DeGrasse Tyson once said, “The only way you can invent tomorrow is if you break out of the enclosure that the school system has provided for by the exams written by people who are trained in another generation (year).” What he is trying to say is that we need innovation within our school systems. We cannot base our tests and exams off the same exact thing every single year. Our students are being taught the test and not the actual subject. The tests are normally from a long time ago and they are just re-used and something needs to be changed about that. Our school systems need to start using alternatives to the final exam. There are alternatives to the typical academic testing out there and school systems need to start using other methods to measure the retention and performance of their students.

Thus, for the purpose of this paper, I will be describing a scenario that I witnessed where a Registered Care Aide (RCA) provided care in an inappropriate manner by means of hand hygiene and highlight the importance of infection control as a way to minimize nosocomial infections and contamination of the surrounding
The world loves to see great organizations that are known for their achievement and meeting their goals and putting smiles on other people/patients faces. Healthy work environments make sure that they show each other great communication with whatever they do inside the workplace. It is a good thing for all workers inside of any workplace of health to practice speaking to each other during procedures and especially during any breaks. This together forms special bonds and chemistry. When there is great chemistry between workers, they feel way more comfortable with the decisions and are less likely to make bad decisions or make mistakes because of not feeling like they are doing the right thing. All of this is just a more broad way of saying collaborative relationships, and promote decision making among all nurses is so important. Uncomfortable workers will always feel that they cannot do anything on their own. So most of the time when they do not feel like they can do something on their own they would normally try and leave to get assistance from another worker or just act very hesitant. No patient wants assistance from a worker that doesn’t feel comfortable. So that is why workers should communicate with each other, and not want to feel bothered. Workers would then learn to freely go around and keep the place clean. Sweeping, sanitizing, and being very precautious is what people love to see when stepping in because unhealthy work environments can have adverse consequences on the quality of care delivered as well as nurses intention to leave the profession. Workers wouldn’t want to work in a profession that has an unhealthy work environment because they are just as careful with other people’s lives just as they are with theirs. Unhealthy work environments aren’t the right places to perform work in either. They are not the right places to perform procedures or not
Patient’s personal hygiene is a vital part of the nurse’s role. Young (1991) described cleanliness as a basic human right, not a luxury the need for the patient to physically cleansing and which would include skin, hair and nails.
Some people pick up on it rather quick, whether it be because someone has told them they’re disgusting, or they see it through their own eyes. Then there are those people that will never notice their filth, and unfortunately not everyone learns to clean up after themselves. Living on campus at Spartanburg Methodist with three other girls my age has made me realize that not everyone was taught to clean up after themselves the way my mother taught me. The first incident that led me to this conclusion was on a weeknight, after a long hard day of workouts, class, and practice I was sitting in the bathroom, I look down to my right—there was no toilet paper. What kind of person doesn’t put toilet paper back on the roll after they use it all?! As if being stranded in the bathroom wasn’t enough I walked out into the living room and a stench of onion almost knocks me down. I look around and someone left their sub wrapper on the living room table. When confronted about leaving a mess in the room each person claimed to understand how it’s not acceptable to leave their stuff thrown throughout the dorm, yet it continued to happen. As I have grown up I now realize that every time my mother would yell at me for leaving food out, not changing the toilet paper roll, leaving a wet towel on my bed, etc., she was preparing me for life on my own. My mother was teaching me how to pick up after myself because one day she wouldn’t be there to wash my laundry or tell me what time to go to bed. All the times that I thought my mom was the bossiest mom in the world and a nag, I was wrong, she was teaching me responsibility at a young
Honesty and integrity are very important in the medical field. We as healthcare workers are given such trust and responsibility. We should always strive to do our best and when faced with tough situations. When we don't always know what to do or the proper way to react we should always be honest. Let our superiors know what is going on and ask for advice when we need to. This would show that we are honest. When we come into contact with patients they rely on us to do the right thing and always perform our job with integrity. Often people’s lives are in our hands. We have to care about the patient and care about our job in order to continue to provide quality care. If someone hates their job they are not going to give their best in every way they can. The medical field is not a place for that person.
As medical assistants, we are required to wear scrubs as our uniform. Our such uniform should not be wrinkled instead it must be in clean and neat condition. In addition, facilities require employees to wear their identification card or badges within the premises at all times. It helps the patient and other staff members, if working in a bigger facility, to identify that you are an employee. It also reassures patients that they are given proper care by a reliable and professional employee. Moreover, in a healthcare facility it is best to wear long sleeves shirt under you scrubs instead of wear...
Each staff member of the restaurant should have nice and clean hygiene along with good manners. Having good hygiene is very important whether an employee is waiting tables, washing dishes, or cooking. If an employee does not shower friction will start to grow between the staff and no one would like to work or even be around that employee. Working in the food service industry with overgrown nails or dirty nails is against the health code and could contaminate the food being prepared by the employee. Being around a customer with bad hygiene could possibly hinder the customer from having a memorable time at the restaurant. Having good manners is also mandatory for every staff member so that no problems can surface between the staff and customers. Steve Marchetti explained that each employee are to meet the minimal standards set forth in the employee handbook and also deliver on the company?s commitment to their customers (Marchetti). A restaurants commitment...
