The laundry is no longer big enough to do uniforms (Nette will confirm this). The new uniforms are to be washed at 60 degrees at home, rather than 40 degrees.
Margaret, I think that when they took the Gaberdines off us, it became more obvious that people wore uniform outside. At least the uniform was completely covered with a Gaberdine.  |
Is it normal practise for nurses to change their uniform every day lettie, i've spent more than my fair share of time in hospital and never noticed if this happens
