IV. INFECTION CONTROL POLICY

IV. INFECTION CONTROL POLICY

Scrubs will not be allowed to be removed from hospital premises and must be turned in after use for processing to meet JCAHO standards. Scrubs need to be processed under certain specifications to meet standards and ensure we eliminate any transference. Any student who removes scrubs from the hospital after use in an authorized area is in violation of this policy and may be stopped upon leaving or re-entering the hospital.

Sterile scrubs are not to be worn outside the hospital for any reason, not even during breaks. If students do not wish to change out of their scrub attire during break, they must wear a cover gown or lab coat to exit the sterile area, but they cannot go outside. If the student chooses to remain in their scrubs, with a cover gown, they must remain inside the hospital and take their breaks at the café, gift shops, lounges, or designated break areas.
