For example, a doctor, surgeon, or nurse will typically wear scrubs or a lab coat and closed toed shoes with grips. A social worker or person of similar profession may wear business clothes, such as slacks with a blouse or button up shirt. Most all workers in the health care field will wear closed toed shoes at all times. It is important that all health care workers wear a name tag or other form of personal identification so that patients and other people in the building know who they are and what their job is. ]]> 2019-02-10 17:54:21 UTC https://padlet.com/calliematthews11/cxllwitz928l/wish/329626606 calliematthews11 https://padlet.com/calliematthews11/cxllwitz928l/wish/329627160 Personal hygiene is a very important factor in patient care. Daily showers, anti perspirants, and brushed teeth are important because it allows their patients to see that if they can take care of themselves properly, they will be able to provide the utmost patient care. Males should be clean shaven with short and manageable hair, and women should have any long hair pulled back as to not interfere with patient care. No excessive jewelry should be worn, as it can get in the way during practice. Wedding rings and simple earrings may be worn, but nothing that extends below the ear lobe. Women may choose to wear makeup to appear more professional but it is not mandatory. ]]> 2019-02-10 17:58:25 UTC https://padlet.com/calliematthews11/cxllwitz928l/wish/329627160 calliematthews11 https://padlet.com/calliematthews11/cxllwitz928l/wish/329627830 Visible tattoos and piercings in any health care profession are typically seen as unprofessional. The standard is 1-2 ear piercings per ear in women and none in males. Gauges, or stretched ear lobes, are typically prohibited in this field. Tattoos that are hidden under the uniform are accepted as long as the patient doesn't see them. Any other forms of body modifications such as a split tongue, lip piercings, eyebrow piercings or other face piercings, and face tattoos are strictly prohibited and seen as very unprofessional to a patient. ]]> 2019-02-10 18:03:17 UTC https://padlet.com/calliematthews11/cxllwitz928l/wish/329627830 calliematthews11 https://padlet.com/calliematthews11/cxllwitz928l/wish/329628350 Honesty- A good health care worker will be honest with their patients at all times. Being honest means telling them the truth, even when the truth is not the desired outcome.
Enthusiasm- A good health care worker will shoe enthusiasm in everything he or she does. Being enthusiastic means that they are excited to work and willing to learn, as well as always looking for the silver lining in the hard situations.
Responsibility- A good health care worker is responsible. Being responsible means that they will do what they are supposed to do without being told to do so, as well as taking accountability for their actions when things go wrong. ]]> 2019-02-10 18:06:37 UTC https://padlet.com/calliematthews11/cxllwitz928l/wish/329628350
