I can not think of anytime--no matter how busy, how many patients, or admissions--that Ididn't "have time" to wash my hands. NO excuse for it, IMHO. Some of these people don't even wash their hands after going to the bathroom--its basic nursing care and the most fundamental infection control.

Sometimes it is convenience - how many have the alcohol rub - I find that there is more compliance when that is freely available as it is a quick squirt and rub.

We do. I hate the smell, but it's important.
