Pins or options to store staff jewelry

[staceyp413]

We will be making a change soon to no jewelry unless covered in the restricted area or by surgical attire. We locker share so our assistant director is looking for personal lock boxes that could be used. Knowing that this means rings off, do any of you have suggestions as to where or who I could contact for the pins that we used to see often that allows us to secure rings to our scrubs?

Thank you

Leave 'em at home. Best way not to lose them, have them stolen, or send them to laundry.

You can get 'tailor grade' safety pins at any fabric store. Don't forget to thread the pin through some part of your undergarments (I just pin mine directly onto my bra strap, but I have seen others pin through the waistband of their boxers/undies or through the strap of a tank top).

Poet has the best advice, however. Leave jewelry at home.

Thanks to you both. I agree to leaving it at home but knowing the push back and difficulty with new changes (even when evidence and patient safety based) can bring I always feel its important to offer options if I can.
