The manager of our hospital L & D unit does not allow us to keep linens in the patient rooms. She claims it is a 'state law'. I cannot find any such law and even the CDC does not have direction on this. I have worked in 3 other hospitals in this state where we kept linens stocked in the rooms in drawers or closets, in fact is was part of our job to keep the drawers stocked. Does anyone have any insight on this? It's a pain because our linen room is some distance away and with the frequent linen/gown changes we put on a lot of miles just running for linens. The state is Michgan. Thanks!

Hi, I'm new to Allnurses, just started a masters degree with the intention of teaching at the BSN level. Great information here! I have an assignment to find out what it costs to educate a nurse at this level. Has anyone seen any statistics on this?
