Testimonials

"I wanted to tell you how much I love hygiene edge. I haven't practiced in a year and they have been so helpful in prepping for a few working interviews I have had. Just wanted to let you know how great I thought they were!"   – Jaycee

"Great videos! Nice to get a fresh view when you've been doing things the same way for years."   – Kristen 

"Thank you so much for your videos! I will be finishing hygiene school the end of July '15 and I enjoy watching your videos for little tricks."   – Carly

"I can't thank Hygiene Edge enough for your most helpful anesthesia videos. I have been practicing for 12 years (10 of them as a rock star at anesthesia and then lost my confidence the last 2 years, sadly.) Today, I got my groove back all thanks to your videos. Listening to doctors explain it WAY over complicated the situation and made it worse. So much better learning from a fellow "hygiene sister." Thank you so so much!!!"   – Catherine
