Question about uniforms

Published

I know this is a minor issue but I am curious when nurses change into their uniforms? At the clinic or hospital, or at home? I assume you don't wear uniforms or scrubs at home?

An NHS trust is an organisational unit within the National Health Service, generally serving either a geographical area or a specialised function (such as an ambulance service). In any particular location there may be several trusts involved in the different aspects of providing healthcare to the local population.

Basically the trust is your employer even though we are all employed by the NHS.

Grumpy - TY. I figured it was prob your employer.

But now, what is NHS in the big healthcare pix? It's not US, right?

NHS = The National Health Service (NHS) is the umbrella term for the publicly-funded healthcare systems of the United Kingdom. Since 1948 it has been funded out of general taxation. It is made up of the four separate systems of the four countries of the UK: The National Health Service in England, NHS Scotland, NHS Wales, and Health and Social Care in Northern Ireland.

NRSKaren - TY.

I know I was just being lazy; I could have done my own research. But when I want to know something FAST, I don't have the computer skills to switch out and do some searching. And then swing back.

So much for my dinosaur techno savvy. ?
