Protective clothing should be changed daily or sooner if visibly soiled. Personnel should remove protective clothing before leaving the work area.…

    Memo: Rooms and White Scrub Pants

    It has come to my attention that not everyone is wearing scrub uniforms. It is our policy that everyone looks uniform, so that our patients can tell the staff apart from our guests. We want to make sure our facility is at its best. Therefore the look of our staff is important. We will provide one scrub uniform per employee. The doctor’s will wear blue scrubs with their white lab coats. The RN’s and LPN’s will wear white scrub pants with a scrub top of their choice. Our dietary staff, housekeeping staff and maintenance staff will all wear black scrub pants with a top of their choice. Everyone must have either a plain white or black pair of tennis shoes. Name tags must be visible for everyone to see. Everyone had two weeks to comply with the dress code.…

    The Influence Of Patient Dressing

    I remember us having several staff meetings to address situations where a certified nurse aide had changed a patient dressing without asking or notifying the LPN or RN. The CNA was giving a patient shower and forgot to cover the patient’s dressing. Therefore, the dressing was wet and she took the initiative to replace the dressing without informing the RN or LPN. There is always a risk involved when practicing outside one’s scope of practice. Based on the example above, if there is a side effect or reaction that happen from the dressing changed by the CNA there will be no backup or documentation to prove that it was properly done. When scene like this happen, it has to be reported and corrected immediately to avoid further complications and/or…

    What if a student decided to wear a T-shirt that said “SHIT ON IT” Without a dress code, this shirt could be worn. For some reasons teachers and students think that not having a dress code is okay. Every person has a different opinion on style. Adoption of school uniform policies will lead to increased school safety, student discipline, and student learning code. However some other believe that students could get stressful for having to wear the same clothes everyday. Supporters have many reasons for wanting students to wear uniforms, school safety, stronger focus on academics, better student conduct and attendance. Schools should have a dress code because it may improve academic performance, reduced competition, and less peer pressure and racial tension.…
