There doesn’t have to be remains on them. Scrubs are considered dirty when you step into the hospital. Who knows what is floating around there...
That being said, some find it impractical to change after their shift before doing other things. Some do, some don’t. I always go home and change before I go anywhere else. That’s my personal thing.
I'm curious, and maybe because it's because I've watched too much TV doctor's shows, but if a medical professional DOES get something on their scrubs/clothes, can they get a replacement set easily in a hospital setting? Or do they keep an extra set in a locker "just in case"?Yes, technically it’s true that scrubs are “dirty” because you were in the hospital. But just so everyone reading knows, if a nurse is doing anything that could soil their uniform, they use cover gowns & barriers to keep themselves clean. We don’t want to carry germs to the next patient. And no one wants to walk around all day in a soiled uniform. A hospital workers scrubs are not necessarily the dirtiest things out there.
Wow.... even this thread has to go political. Alllll righty then.....
I am sorry, but having a different viewpoint or opinion than myself is a human right and freedom of speech. No matter how much some folks wish that all of the sudden the others viewpoints should be censored. No matter how easily and unnecessarily offended and angry others can be. Nobody should have to censor their conversation with their friend/family just because a bystander might not approve. The very suggestion, as mentioned here, (even with the disclaimer of 'I really wouldn't do anything about it') makes me shake my head.
We have really come to the point where political correctness has taken over and run totally amok, so that one can not say ANYTHING that such one-sided and tender ears can not even bear to hear.
Wow.....
That is a completely and totally different thing than discussing something, like human excrement, while other people are eating, like was described in the original post.
That is totally and completely against any basic common respect.
That is just GROSS.
Fair enoughI’m sure you do now. Come back in 10, 20 or yea, 40 years like me & see if you always, every day absolutely go home first. Sometimes, you just decide that day that you need to stop & unwind after a bad shift with your coworkers. Sometimes, you’re so exhausted that you need to stop at the grocery store on the way, coz once you get in the house, you are too bone tired to leave again.

Personally, I think it’s to be provocative, unlike the nurses who were just discussing their day.Why do people do this in a public space where other people are forced to listen to your conversation? On our last flight, the lady in the row behind us talked politics.
Based on that (which supports what I was thinking earlier), concern over "dirty" scrubs in a restaurant seems a strange concern to me. Thank you for the answer.Some of my coworkers keep extra stuff in their lockers. But that is more because we work in different areas with different uniform requirements. So they have a set in their locker in case they have to unexpectedly switch to the other area.
My facility has scrubs for certain areas, like the operating room. If someone on one of the floors has an unexpected incident & needs a clean uniform, the supervisor can get one for them. But that is really rare. Despite what tv shows, there is not blood & gore spewing all over the place every day. On a regular floor, you know before you walk in a room if you need to wear protective equipment. And that is put on before you walk into the room. We want to protect our other patients & ourselves. We don’t want to risk exposure to all kinds of diseases any more than the public does.
Simple, they don't realize they are talking loud enough for others (not participating in the conversation) to hear.Why do people do this in a public space where other people are forced to listen to your conversation? On our last flight, the lady in the row behind us talked politics.
Agreed. But, I wouldn’t say anything to them & technically they have the right to discuss whatever they want. It’s just impolite.It should of been common sense and courtesy of the nurses not too talk like that. People will say it’s what they see at work.
So if correctional officers go out to eat. Should they talk about the guy who ate the poop sandwich at a restaurant. No it should be common sense and courtesy not to talk about it on a restaurant.
If poiice officers go out to eat should they talk about auto accident and how much blood and other facts. No it should be common sense and courtesy not to talk about it in a restaurant.
If firefighters go out to eat in a restaurant should they talk about how badly the person got burned. No it should be common sense and courtesy not to talk about it.
If janitors from a school go out to eat should they talk about the vomit they had to clean up in a restaurant. Etc etc.
The point that MsJPrinces made wasn't that she was there. It is that the OP was and you were not. So indeed you really have no evidence. Only innuendo.No but neither were you. We only have OP saying they were loud. It doesn’t mean they were LOUD to others.
That there may be another side does not make pulling potential other sides out of my rump and arguing as if they are true valid.There are also two sides to everything... not worth arguing over we can disagree.
