These uniforms are called scrubs. These uniforms are different colors most of the time to show the different groups of workers. Although some careers and facilities don't require a uniform. Even though the work place does not require a uniform this doesn't mean you should wear anything you want to wear. You should wear clothes that are easy to move in and won't fade or mess up when you wash them as you should keep your clothes clean and neat. You should wear white non-absorbent shoes, even thought most facilities don't require it. ]]> 2019-02-13 13:34:27 UTC https://padlet.com/hodgesp642/s51ei8tjy4w4/wish/330783811 hodgesp642 https://padlet.com/hodgesp642/s51ei8tjy4w4/wish/330807057 2019-02-13 14:19:01 UTC https://padlet.com/hodgesp642/s51ei8tjy4w4/wish/330807057 hodgesp642 https://padlet.com/hodgesp642/s51ei8tjy4w4/wish/330815969 Like your uniform your name badge or I.D. is very important. In some health care facilities you can't even enter the building unless you have your I.D. Your personal hygiene should be kept up. Your body odor needs to be controlled as you will be in close contact with people. Taking a shower or bath, using deodorant, as well as wearing clean underpants are just some of the ways that you can keep your body odor under control. Tobacco products, perfumes, scented hairsprays, aftershave lotions should be avoided. All of these things could cause an allergic reaction or annoy the patients and coworkers. ]]> 2019-02-13 14:34:04 UTC https://padlet.com/hodgesp642/s51ei8tjy4w4/wish/330815969 hodgesp642 https://padlet.com/hodgesp642/s51ei8tjy4w4/wish/330819495 2019-02-13 14:39:26 UTC https://padlet.com/hodgesp642/s51ei8tjy4w4/wish/330819495 hodgesp642 https://padlet.com/hodgesp642/s51ei8tjy4w4/wish/330819948 Nails need to be kept clean of any dirt, as well as cut short. Artificial nails are often times not allowed in most health care facilities. Even if they are allowed the should be avoided because they can trap dirt and germs under the nails and puncture or tear gloves. You should also avoid nail polish because it can also hide dirt. Nail polish can also disturb patients and coworkers. If you want to wear nail polish then keep it clear. Hair should be pulled back with no excessive hair styles or anything of that nature. Pinning back you hair will prevent it from touching patients as well as falling into tray equipment and getting in the way during a procedure.]]> 2019-02-13 14:40:11 UTC https://padlet.com/hodgesp642/s51ei8tjy4w4/wish/330819948 hodgesp642 https://padlet.com/hodgesp642/s51ei8tjy4w4/wish/330824824 2019-02-13 14:48:44 UTC https://padlet.com/hodgesp642/s51ei8tjy4w4/wish/330824824 hodgesp642 https://padlet.com/hodgesp642/s51ei8tjy4w4/wish/330825926 Jewelry is often times prohibited from the workplace because it can spread germs, get in the way of a procedure, and injure a patient or coworker. Usually there are some exceptions to this rule like a watch, wedding wring, or small ear piercings. Heavy makeup should be avoided as well. Makeup is used to add to the attractiveness of the wearer and has no place in the workplace. Visible tattoos should also be avoided as they can be offensive and cause a distraction. If you do have a tattoo you can try to cover it up as long as it doesn't violate the dress code. Just think having a tattoo can cost you a job.]]> 2019-02-13 14:50:30 UTC https://padlet.com/hodgesp642/s51ei8tjy4w4/wish/330825926 hodgesp642 https://padlet.com/hodgesp642/s51ei8tjy4w4/wish/330830466 2019-02-13 14:57:17 UTC https://padlet.com/hodgesp642/s51ei8tjy4w4/wish/330830466
