Germ Fight!

The most memorable moment to date was in my Foundations for Nursing Practicum I class where our professors did a mini experiment to teach us on the importance of hand hygiene. Just like in the video I posted, we applied a “glow” lotion product to our hands before washing them. This lotion would then highlight the germs still present on our hands after we had sufficiently scrubbed them. It was shocking! No matter how much, or how longed we washed our hands; they just couldn’t get clean enough. Bacteria were still there. It was virtually impossible to get rid of. From that moment on, I always make sure that I take extra care when performing hand hygiene.
