Slang of the aides
As CNAs we have codes amongst each other to talk about patients in order to not violate HIPAA laws for privacy but still be able to communicate. We also have terms for different situations and things that happen, so here are a few:
AJU = All Jacked Up (multiple issues)
FTF = Failure to Fly (usually head-bonks, but can be used throughout traumas)
ATS – Acute Thespian Syndrome (the patient is faking illness)
FTW – Friggin Train Wreck (patient with multiple problems).
LOBNH – Lights On But Nobody Home
SALT – Same As Last Time
TMB – Too Many Birthdays
TUBE – Totally Unnecessary Breast Examination (Usually involuntarily done to the CNA's)
Christmas-lots of call lights going off
Brown Cow- A mix of Milk of Magnesia and Prune Juice (made to kick out any constipation)
Blowout- (use your imagination haha) when a patient explodes out of their brief
Coworkers-comment with more, I will edit this post as I receive input or ones that I have forgotten! :)
