Some inspectors from the hospital came through the lab a few months ago and objected to the pump bottles of lotion/cream that sat by the big sinks in chemistry, hematology, micro and immunology. Mostly they were 'donations' by various people who were tired of dry hands. We took turns bringing in bottles (that's how I learned of the Gold Bond lotion.) to use since the hospital never would put up a dispenser on the wall by the soap dispenser. There are some scattered through the hospital, just not on our floor or in the lab. So the inspectors made the lab director remove the bottles and we have to keep our lotion in our lockers or lab coat pockets now. <sigh> My next tube/bottle will be the udder cream.
And the lab will be moving out of the hospital in a few months. There will still be an inpatient lab, but most of the non-stat testing will be done at the new location. I haven't decided which part I'll be working in since there haven't been any specifics given as to what sort of hours the shifts will be in the new lab. I'd like to get on days where I'm home by 7 or 8pm. Hubby would be so much more happy. And maybe we could get lotion on the sink counter without ruffling mgmt's feathers.
I'm hoping the P stays gone with the Simponi. 4th shot next week--the day before my trip. Only 10 more days. Woohoo.
