Answer:

Interesting question. I highly doubt that nurses working four 12 hour shifts in a row are going to wash them until they get their four days off. And do they all wash them at home in hot water to kill germs? Not likely. But is it a health risk to us or themselves and their families. I can guarantee you if there was a flu pandemic, they would be leaving those uniforms in the parking lots.

Why should that be a problem?

Good Point I used to work in Greggs the Bakers and had to get changed before I left.

i agree they should not be allowed to say pop out for an hour then go back to work all the germs from outside are being taken back in the hospital

---

Do they still do it? The hospital by me banned doctors and nurses from doing that.Any contact outside of the hospital and the uniform had to be taken off.

---

cause the hospital or clinic they working for are too cheap to wash them for the nurses

technically the medical scrubs should not leave the clinic

on greys anatamoy they have locker rooms to change in.

Thanks to Margaret Thatchers 18 torturous years of Government and lack of investment in the NHS most hospital in house laundrys had to close.

All the laundry was then passed on to private contractors who deal with many organisations, not just one hospital and our uniforms went missing. Some nurses lost every single one they owned and had to PAY for new ones.
