Quick question for anyone who has already had some clinical experience. I was just accepted to my ADN program for Fall 2015 (yay!) and as a congrats gift my family bought me a stethoscope along with a really cute charm chain that hangs from it. I'm just wondering, are these charms allowed in nursing school/clinicals/hospitals? Being where it is located on the scope, I don't see how it would ever really come in direct contact with a patient but I could see why maybe some facilities would be worried about it not being sterile? Anyone have one of these and does your school/facility allow it?
Just checked out the site. Doesn't look like it would be a huge problem. I probably wouldn't take them into a gross situation where they might be blood or other bodily fluid.
