in addition to the measure mentioned in this article i also think that all medical staff should not be wearing their uniforms outside the hospital building.how many of you see nurses in uniform in the supermarket, picking up kids from school etc in their uniforms?shouldnt the hospitals be making them change there?how many uniforms do nurses get, one for each shift a week or do they wear them twice before washing them?not having a go, just concerned that more could be done to stop these super bugs.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.There is a risk of nurses carrying the likes of mrsa and c-diff outside the hospital. I used to be a care worker and if i was dealing with a patient with mrsa i would bring a spare uniform to avoid cross infection. A lot of care workers do. Also when you see them in the shops they are normally shopping for a patient.
would it perhaps be better if all hospital staff wore something similar to the greens they wear in theatre?just have different colours for different staff like nurses, porters, doctors etc?there's no practicality in the current uniform to stop this change and the greens style things are easier to launder, cheaper and wouldnt be so nice to be seen out in the street in?
in reply to Reverand funk's question: No nurses wearing their uniform out of hours outside work is most definitely NOT the same as a painter wearing his/her overalls. Come on USE your head; a nurse stands to carry infections/bacteria on his/her uniform by the nature of their very work; a decorator just paint!!
So come on then bigmamma, do you think the state of our wards is a direct consequence of Matrons being removed from Nursing? Every nursing home manager I know (and I'm not exaggerating when I say I know over 500) laments the loss of the Matron as they say standards have fallen as a result of this.
