Going to work:
Leave your wallet. Carry ID, Metrocard, a little cash and use ApplePay as much as possible.
Shoes: choose a pair of shoes to wear only at the hospital. (bring a plastic bag for post-shift)
Clothes: Wear clean clothes to work. Change into your scrubs at work. (have a plastic bag for dirty scrubs post-shift)
Wear a mask traveling to and from work.
Coming home from work:
Before leaving the hospital:
Disinfect prior to leaving the hospital - wipe down anything and everything you possibly can with a disinfecting wipe. *don't forget your work shoes*
Change out of your scrubs and work shoes and into your clean clothes after your shift. Store dirty scrubs plastic bag.
Change from work shoes to home shoes. Place work shoes in a plastic bag.
Wash your hands a minimum of 20 seconds frequently all day long and also as the last thing you do before you walk out of the hospital doors.
When you arrive at home:
Create a “hot zone” just inside the door of your apartment. Work shoes, work bag, dirty scrubs all stay in that area. Use a washable laundry bag for dirty scrubs.
Keep hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes/spray in the hot zone. After unpacking your work bag, clean any surfaces you have touched and then clean your hands with hand sanitizer.
Shower ASAP and put on new clean clothes. Now you are free to enjoy your time at home!
