I keep seeing people say you should keep alcohol prep pads with you at clinicals. Do you use the sterile or non-sterile ones? I'd like to use them to clean my stethoscope off
This is one reason why I'm thinking of quitting my job. The new regs and everything are getting ridiculous. Now the nurse tells us we can't put pills in souffle cups anymore, either. The resident has to read the label or the bottle, understand what they're taking and give themselves the med while we watch. Well, why are we supervising their meds if they are capable of doing it themselves?? I don't know...
I agree about the risk of infection with a skin tear. Good grief. The poor woman showed up at breakfast the next morning with a band-aid she put on herself. What's the point of forcing all employees to go through first aid training if we can't even use it??? This just kills me.
