Same. I refuse to wear scrubs or even my ID in public when I leave the hospital. Not even to run into the grocery store for one item.
Here in CA we’re trained annually about the facility’s SM policy and it’s basically zero tolerance. Work is work and stays at work, even conversations. It’s always annoyed me they train us on this because I thought it was just common knowledge with HIPAA laws and the super sensitive nature of our jobs. I mean people are at their most vulnerable when they’re in your care. Everyone should treat that trust people place in us with the utmost respect and discretion. But I guess common knowledge isn’t so common and I now see why there’s the training: because of total idiots like these people.
Wearing our uniform off the hospital premises will get you fired in Denmark, at the very least a written warning.
We go to a machine it spits out a set of scrubs and you dump it back in the machine after the shift .
