Guest guest Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011  If only it were that simple. My cap retired many years ago, they are a breeding ground for infections. My latex allergy started in the late 80's and there was nothing to do about it then. I am fully disabled and never will work as a nurse again. I have come to peace about that after many years of hard work.My life's work is now about education and awareness. Hospitals are slow to change unless . . .well, this isn't a latex forum so I have to stop here. My misophonia is now another brick in my wall of challenges. They used to keep me in and trapped, I won't allow that any more.I use them as stepping stones to create a different way of living. The information shared here can help me with that goal. prn Re: neurology> >> >Â > >> >> >prn, thank you for replying.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 I always thought those caps were kind of undignified anyway. So on a side note, did the doctors ever go through your lunch bags? My mom used to have to put really disgusting stuff on her sandwiches so that her lunch wouldn't get pilfered by some cardiologist.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 May I step in here? I was working at a hospital in the late '70s. (That's about when the caps began disappearing.) The moment the female staff complained that the male nurses weren't wearing nursing caps, we won our case, and nobody had to wear them anymore. The only person I knew who was disappointed was one of the charge nurses (a gay male) who said he'd always wanted to wear one, but couldn't! I remember him fondly. I always thought those caps were kind of undignified anyway. So on a side note, did the doctors ever go through your lunch bags? My mom used to have to put really disgusting stuff on her sandwiches so that her lunch wouldn't get pilfered by some cardiologist.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 Well, I hope he wasn't restricted in the choice of fabric patterns for his scrubs. I have gay friends who would concur, I would wager he was very sweet to his patients. whether in conventionally approved attire or not.
