If you still check this thread i bought one of those trendy top things its just a price of material that covers your middle and behind then you don't have to buy new scrubs

Ok by that theory you should also put on a depend and wait an hour after going to the bathroom then tell me how soap and water feels compared to wet wipes

Yes i was talking about peri care, i probably should have worded that differently before. The soap we use is a sensitive skin body wash and facility policy says at least once every shift use soap and every other time you can use the wipes. I use the soap every round because i have caught so many of the other aides only using wipes if they have a bm and not at all if they can can clean it off with part of the brief. Its ridiculous how lazy people are and how little they care about the residents at least i know that my residents are given the care they deserve when I'm here.

I work 11 to 7 at a LTC facility, and my main charge nurse only has 3 major rules 1. Always wear gloves 2. Wash everyone with soap 3. Turn residents every 2 hr. These are pretty simple and easy to follow i thought but, we had an aide from the 3-11 stay over and she refused to use the soap saying that was what the wipes were for and at the end of the shift said that we were hurting the residents by using the soap and she was going to bring this up with our administrator. So i was just wondering what other aides opinions were on the subject. On a side note she wrote up for not wearing gloves or performing peri care that night.
