   Do you ever get disappointed when certain nurses call in?

   bwannabnurse02 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

   Of course. Just like you’d much rather do an activity with your bestie than do it with your enemy (LOL). But luckily I don’t have that issue because I’m home health…it’s just me and the patient in a residential setting.

   Peri-care without gloves?

   bwannabnurse02 replied to lightwing's topic in General Nursing

   I have a love hate relationship with gloves. One, with them on there is more chance of cross contamination and without them on you’re typically more diligent about washing them. Hot water and antibacterial soap is good and do it every stage or so and...

   Writing “poop” is unprofessional?

   bwannabnurse02 replied to guest1143647's topic in General Nursing

   This is odd. I mean everyone knows bowel movements are “poop.” I think it’s a bit excessive for them to write you up, but now you know in the future.

   Who can wear printed scrubs?

   It’s different for every hospital. I am a home health care nurse, so thankfully I can wear printed scrubs.

   men in printed scrubs

   bwannabnurse02 replied to TexanJLN's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I actually washed a second hand scrub top yesterday and I remember looking at the tag and it said “tumble dry low.” Which basically means you can dry it but on low. I didn’t put it in the dryer though because it was a nice scrub top and I didn’t want...

   Who can wear printed scrubs?

   bwannabnurse02 replied to Brierutter's topic in Australia

   I work in home health care, so we aren’t required to wear solid colors only. I wear patterned/printed tops most of the time! Only occasionally I wear solid colored scrub tops. I always match my printed tops with coordinating bottoms. I have a variety...

   men in printed scrubs

   bwannabnurse02 replied to TexanJLN's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I don’t mind men wearing printed tops on a pediatric floor/office...as long as they are appropriate. However, if they work on an adult floor, I would think it would be tacky. Most of the time, I see male workers dressed in solid color tops.

   I think cutsey scrub tops look ridiculous on adult units

   bwannabnurse02 replied to AZO49008's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I work with adults and I wear printed tops...however I would not wear teddy bears or anything that looks too “cutesy.” I wear things like Pepe le pew, floral, Betty Boop, Kermit the frog, dear God, chipmunks, and tinker bell prints. I’ve yet to have ...

   Are your choice of scrubs childish?

   bwannabnurse02 replied to rose89's topic in Uniform/Gear

   Personally, I don’t think so. I work in home health care, so I don’t work with pediatrics and I wear printed tops. My patients are middle-aged, but I have yet to have a patient not enjoy my printed scrub tops! I wear Snoopy & Woodstock scrubs (my...
