But you guys are basically my coworkers, and I need somewhere to talk this out.
So as many of you know I am in Nursing School, classes start in 9 days and clinicals start the week after.
So many of the women in my cohort are being a little overly dramatic about the likelihood that their clothing/shoes/watch will get bodily fluids on them. Fo example several of them have opted for all leather shoes to protect their feet from blood/urine. Even to the point of buying shoes that are less comfortable?
I have worked in healthcare for a long time, and I have worked bedside as a sitter/MA and have not really ever been in a situation where my feet were at risk of getting that dirty and the rest of my body was fine? Like if you have that much blood or urine coming your way you'll be getting it on your leg/sock/etc and your foot.
