Yes that is exactly what I mean whether its MRSA or any other bacteria. This doctor has made nurses leave the unit to change clothes and shower because they had been in an infected patients room. I feel that his demands are ridiculous and he ripped me a new on the other day because we had placed an infected knee patented in a room next door to a post op hip patient.
Can anyone tell me if your facility allows infected surgical patients to be on the same unit as non infected surgery patients? I work with a doctor that swears no other hospital in the United States allows dirty patients to be on the same unit as clean patients.
