Doffing
G-gloves
E-eyewear
R- Robe- gown
M- mask

[joshuamcnally]

When I think of Donning PPE, I think of myself standing up with hands raised over my head. I start from the bottom up. Gown, mask, eyewear, and gloves. The GMEG works great as well. Thank you!

[serenityblue]

For droplet I like to use the acronym
DRIPPPMM

Because droplets drop

D- diphtheria
R- rubella
I- influenza
P- pertussis
P-pneumonia
P- parvovirus
M-mumps
M-meningitis

[justincortez]

I passed the ATI fundamentals because of these videos, and yes I watched every one in the playlist - it was worth it. THANK YOU

[lukendiadussuau]

GMEG was very, very helpful. We definitely need more mnemonics in our review session. Thank you for making it easier.

[benrosenthal]

Hi Meris. You guys are awesome! So Helpful. Just one comment and maybe I'm understanding it wrong, but I believe negative pressure rooms pump air in and don't allow air to leave the room, hence making sure the airborne disease doesn't spread outside of the room. Air is not pumped out. It's a weird thing to describe but I just wanted to make sure nursing students understand the concept. Thanks. And I could be wrong on this so let me know.

[sungheelim]

I’ve been watching so many different videos explaining about PPE and this is THE BEST so far! Thanks a lot!! ❤

[Kruz_kontrolld]

Love this! One way I remember the order of putting ON PPE is with the acronym "Grown Men Give High-Fives".. G for Gown (and Grown looks like Gown), M for Mask, G for Goggles, H for Hands which implies Gloves.. Hope that helps lol

[zamarripa]

Thank you for emphasizing on certain words, it really helps me understand and it clicks in my brain 🫶🏼

[vrushalipatelia]

Love watching your vidoes Maris ❤ Your speaking skill is very clear

[cameliamoodie]

" G-MEG" FOR DON PPE
G--> OWN
M-->ASK
EYE -WEAR
G -->LOVES

[tacomyers]

I love Gmeg however I get confused on what G in the beginning represents the so I put for Gown GN and say GoodNightMEG...
GnMEG

[veralaw]

This is my favorite of all the nursing channels.

[jasminemoreau]

Thank you for this! I have a return demonstration tomorrow on 12 different concepts/scenarios and this was one of them which was never explained by my instructor!

[franka]

Thanks for this great video !!! 🙂 the way that you explained it was so easy to understand and remember. Many blessings 🙏

[othnielleaitchedji]

How to Don PPE: Don is a grown man with gorgeous glutes: Don = Gown, Mask, Goggles, Gloves!

Apologies, the mnemonic just worked out that way haha! Thank you for your videos!!

[CBurke-tqqv]

Update: Some sources say a gown is not needed for droplet precautions.

[Jeff-xipc]

Are courses as pact as they're made out to be? I would love to start classes soon, but I've heard they're mostly a gamble, so I wouldn't know how soon it might take to actually enroll in a class.

[stephcouch]

Can you return unopened equipment back to supply from a room on contact precautions?

[katbodyxo]

when do you leave a stethoscope in the room which precaution ? or is it all precautions ??
