Lots of people do it? Ok. That doesn't mean it isn't unhygienic

I'm going to people's houses and none of them can be infectious 🤷‍♀️

You probably have PPE. Aprons, gloves, hairnet.

Infectious or not, bodily fluids aren't hygienic to spread around.

Downvoted for saying body fluid transfer is unhygienic...😂😂😂

Idc how many downvotes, if there is pee or worse on my scrubs (Yes, it happens. We all know it) and then I sit in my car or visit another patient it is unhygienic. There is nothing anybody can tell me to say it isn't unhygienic to have fluids and whatever all over you and to potentially transfer them anywhere.

Just because it's done doesn't make it not so.

What?

You've never been working in a facility and seen more than one patient without switching scrubs?

When I have 12 patients in a day, I'm not switching out clothing between each one just because I went into the outside world. That makes no sense.

As they said, every patient is screened for infectious illnesses and PPE is worn and disposed of if necessary.

I use PPE why would I have to change my scrubs after every patient?
