W T F...?

Walked out of the med room at work and mentioned to a nurse in passing that the med I was about to give had an expiration date of the next day. (I wanted to toss it and get a new one. It was probably okay. I put it in a med cup to deliver to a patient). The nurse I mentioned this too replied "wow, that is probably a good thing to check the expiration right, I should really be better about that". I walked off, Partly because I didn't have a response that was appropriate and I really liked this lady. All I could think was really, have you been a nurse so long that you are so complacent about checking expiration dates on medications. Ew. I bet you check your expiration date on your milk though. 

My second Ew. is EVEN worse. I was in a room assisting a RN in changing clothes/linen for patient who was incontinent (pissed herself). My fellow coworker changed the wet clothes, wet bedding, wiped the patients front to back (girl parts to butt crack) with me... BUT WITHOUT GLOVES. I was so in shock through the whole thing. I did my part, took off my gloves off, washed my hands and walked out. All that I could obsess about is all the things she may have touched with that kind of careless care to her patients and that it puts her, them and me at risk. I am already OCD about touching things... BUT this just puts a whole new obsession in my head. Something needs to be done and said in time...It is just a matter of me figuring out how to go about it...
