Muslimah's that are doing nursing often complain about covering their arms, where I live there is a policy about wearing sleeveless tops and stuff while working in the nhs etc, obviously this is an issue for muslimah's who would like to cover,

I'm doing clearing at the moment and theres a student that would like to decline the offer because of this,

It's kinda sad because she called up support teams for students in this position and no one helped her,

Do you think she went a bit far? or should she stand by her rights?
 
There was some debate in our local hospital about Muslim uniforms recently.

As far as I recall there was some infection control concern with regards to the long sleeves. The local Muslim Association advised Muslim hosptital staff that their responsibility to ensure the safety of patients was paramount, and to wear the uniform as prescribed ...

I understand what you mean.

Infection control is a huge issue in hospitals at the moment. Long sleeves are probably more likely to pick up bacteria during the working day - and unlike skin, they cannot be easily washed between patient contacts ...
There must be something like disposable sleeve protectors - but I guess they would cost money, which in an already financially stretched health service may be deemed unnecessary ...

In our local case, it wasn't just a decision made by the hospital. I t was put out for discussion with staff and the Muslim Association - and a solution was reached.
But that doesn't mean that all Muslimahs are happy with the outcome, I guess.

Sister i dont know where you live but in the Uk there are long dresses as well as long sleeves top for muslimah..
Just fold it up when you are dealing with a patient and fold it down again.
 
I don't understand why you don't wear disposable scrubs when it comes to pts who are high risk?
They are supposed to be by every station, they come in yellow or blue, and they wear like a kitchen apron but with long sleeves with a whole for the thumb and then gloves over it?

interesting!
