[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 234328, member: 84"] Susie you did the right thing calling the Patient Representitive!!! OMG!!! She was not only exposing herself.......but every person and patient she came into contact with!!! There is a [B]reason[/B] behind sterile procedure!!! I get so furious when I hear about stuff like this. When I was doing phlebotomy clinicals....well, you wouldn't believe the amt of women who didn't wear gloves, but those that never bothered to wash their hands before and after each patient.....well, they all got mysteriously turned in. sheesh!! One woman, I happened to really like her, wasn't gloving or gowning when around the newborns in the nursery!!! Yep, she got turned in too. Hospitals have a high rate of cross infection just due to the business they're in. That's bad enough. But staff not following proper (and simple) procedures to keep that cross contamination down to as little as possible, in my opinion is unforgivable. If that nurse loses her job it's because she was being neglectful as all heck. She was risking all her other patients.......and being a major risk to YOU because your immune system already had more than it could handle. grrrr Can you tell I was taught by someone years ago who was more than a bit anal retentive about such things? lol ;) [/QUOTE]
