Christmas Overboard - Err, I Mean Overview (Part II-Clean Hands)

Clean hands save lives!  And in the NICU, everyone scrubs their hands like a surgeon and I do mean everyone: nurses, doctors, surgeons (hehe), parents, grandparents, siblings, everyone!  Hand washing is a HUGE deal because babies' immune systems just aren't that great.  Dirty hands spread infections and infections can KILL.  Clean hands = less infections = healthy babies.

   


Everyone does a 3-minute "scrub in" when they come to our NICU.  We also have alochol rubs EVERYWHERE.  During Christmas, I like to Santa-fy those alochol rubs.  It's a fun way to spread Christmas cheer and encourages everyone to clean their hands.
