Dirty Fingers And A Hamburger
One of my coworkers broke her finger and is wearing a finger splint. The splint must be kept dry which means that she cannot wash her finger. So, after she does her nursing duties, she washes only 9 fingers. She must have one dirty finger.
Another coworker cut his finger and must keep the dressing dry. He deals with his problem by wearing a glove all of the time and even washes his hands while wearing a glove. The glove does not come off until it tears.
It violates all kinds of rules and laws for a nurse to not be able to wash his or her hands. Management knows of these injuries and doesn't care.
How would you like to be a patient in my hospital?
An x-ray tech came out of a patient's room and asked, "Can I get a hamburger?" I just stared at him and wondered if he thought that I had some hamburgers lying around. It turns out that what he really said was, "Can I get a hand with her?"

hamburger... love it.
dirty fingers... yuck.
at the end of every patients bed in the hospital where I stayed was a pump bottle of gel hand cleaner. The nurses, doctors and staff used it regularly... so did I!!! They also have them mounted on the walls thoughout the hospital w/ a sign suggesting that everyone used it... including visitors.
We have those to on every wall, but we don't use them. The alcohol burns the tiny cuts on our hands, eats away at our skin and the gel leaves a sticky residue. It also doesn't kill C diff, a common bug problem. We just use soap and water and illegal moisturizer from home, assuming we can wash our hands.

I dunno, are the nurses cute?
There are some cute nurses if you don't mind dirty fingers.
