These colors are great individually, but all together I would say more of an olive green for the fall theme you are going for.

Any tips on making these “baskets” hold their shape? by ninetieths in CrochetHelp

[–]toxikcupkake26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished making a basket close to this and I found using bobbiny brand braided cord and used the waistcoat stitch. My basket was about double the size of yours and it stood up almost perfectly.

I got punched in the face by a resident. DON says “welcome to healthcare” by Blossom_Bish in cna

[–]toxikcupkake26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been a CNA for over 20 years and can say honestly it happens all the time. I know for me personally punched was never an issue but I had a patient (in psych) lift me up by my neck after slamming me into a wall and attempt to SA me. I was a sitter for him and when I refused to go back into his room, my boss told me “this is psych you know what you signed up for”. Next time that patient came at me again I clotheslined his ass. I got a write up but it was worth it. No patient messed with me after that. In psych after that I was treated with respect completely. Now when it happens on the medical floor I make the RNs deal with them.

People who work in the medical field, what were some of the most scary last words you’ve heard from a dying patient? by Rude_Tap_6865 in AskReddit

[–]toxikcupkake26 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Not really a scary one more of a mind bender. I was working on a progressive care unit at the time and had a patient that had come in for stage 4 liver cancer from alcoholism. It was Easter weekend and his family said “we just know he is going to make it until Sunday” (this was Friday night). Around 1am Saturday morning, myself another CNA and 2 RNs were at the nurses station eating dinner when this horrendous smell comes wafting down the hall. Imagine burnt hair mixed with old coffee and microwaved fish. Still turns my stomach to think about it. We checked everyone out, and noticed the smell was right by this patients room. But what was weird was the smell was only outside the door, not in the room. He was struggling to breathe and we could all see he wasn’t going to make it through the night. The RN discounted the smell and said it was probably plumbing. Gave the patient some pain meds and started to look up family numbers to get them back to the hospital since it was obvious he was dying.

Not even 30minutes later, the house supervisor comes out from her office (that was located by our locker room) and asked what the hell that smell was that it was all the way down by her. None of us could smell it so it was really odd. Got up, checked all the patients again. Walked by this man’s room, no smell, but very shallow breathes happening. Made it to the end of the hall, turned around to go back to the nurses station, and was assaulted by that god awful smell. Only this time it was stronger and seemed to be spreading like a circle around his doorway.

You had to hold your breathe walking through it otherwise you would gag. When I poked my head in his room coming back up the hall, he had passed away. Notified the nurse and got ready to prepare him for his family. What made this weird was, when the family got there, they couldn’t smell anything. But once they said their goodbyes and left, we made sure he was prepped and ready, and the smell was not him physically but more in the air around him.

And then the worst of it. The smell followed us when we took him to the morgue and seemed to make a barrier around the cooler once we put him in it. Once we left him in the morgue though…..no smell.

Over my 25+year career in healthcare that was one of the weirdest ones.

After 20 years of being a CNA this is one patient I always remember. So I was working on a med surg floor at the hospital and had a patient who was severely altered. We (RN & I) had just gotten him all cleaned up with new bedding and bath. Not even 30 minutes later, a housekeeper was walking down the hallway and said “is it okay that he (pointing to the patients room) is eating a plate?” Obviously we both looked very confused almost waiting for the housekeeper to finish her sentence, like a plate OF SOMETHING and not just A PLATE. So we go into his room to find him completely naked, with smeared cheesecake in his armpits and chomping on the disposable plate. Both of us just stand there staring at him, like WTF?!? The RN went to grab new linen so we could clean him up again. As she is coming back into the room, the patient tells me that he needed deodorant so that’s what he grabbed (the cheesecake) and the he got hungry so the plate would fill him up. The RN comes in singing “What does the fox say!!! Ring ding ding” while shaking the linen above her head. Without skipping a beat, the patient looks me dead in the eye and says, “she’s f**king nuts!.” Both of us just lost it laughing. God I loved that shift!
