Nov 11, '12 by equestriRNOne of our MDs won't see any patients until the doc's work area has been completely cavi-wiped, including the chair and computer peripherals. He also refuses to sit at any other computer except that particular one.timmedico likes this. -
Nov 12, '12 by Jeweles26I had a colleague when I was right out of school who was a pretty extreme germophobe. She carried Purell with her everywhere. She would disinfect her cutlery if she ate at a restaurant. She even applied Purell to her new boyfriends lips before kissing him because he had a cold sore, and gave him this big shpiel on how he had herpes. -

Nov 12, '12 by JosephQueenAs a nurse, she should know better than to kiss him when he has a herpes flare-up. That's just ridiculous. - Nov 13, '12 by DizzyLizzyNurseQuote from Jeweles26Um yeah. I'm pretty sure I'd dump someone if they tried to make me put Purell on my lips. Yuck!She even applied Purell to her new boyfriends lips before kissing him because he had a cold sore, and gave him this big shpiel on how he had herpes.tnmarie and BrandonLPN like this.

Nov 13, '12 by hopeful_27I am a total germaphobe! I use bleach wipes to wipe the computer prior to use. I wash my hands then use the sanitizer for my hands and glove up to every patients I see, even when they ask me to hand them water. I use alcohol wipes to clean my stethoscope with each patient use. Before leaving work, I wash my hands two times then put on gloves, use bleach wipes to wipe my shoes and clipboard. I practically use a whole box of alcohol wipes at the end of my shift. Then when I get to my car, I slip out of my shoes ( wearing gloves) put it in the trunk and put on another pair, then use sanitizer again. When I get home, I take off my scrubs in the laundry basket for scrubs only in the laundry room. Then take a really hot shower. I had nurses looking at me like I am crazy, but I don't care! Don't want to bring anything home or catch anything myself.
I used to take off my scrubs in the parking garage before getting in the car to put it in the trunk (I always have undershirts and shorts underneath my scrubs) but stopped because I see people literally stop and watch me every time, I guess they thought I was stripping naked for all to see.Last edit by hopeful_27 on Nov 13, '12 - Nov 13, '12 by DizzyLizzyNurseQuote from hopeful_27Yeah, you are getting germs in your car, which get on your new, clean clothes. That means they get on your couch, your chairs, end up on your clothes in your other laundry basket, etc. No offense meant, but germs are a part of life.I am a total germaphobe!
