I learned a trick from Joan Rivers. I always have both in my hospital bag and my purse the small purse size spray can of Lysol. I am a retired RN and I know that when a room has to be turned over quickly sometimes the housekeeping staff gets rushed and the room doesn't get cleaned properly. 

 

That certainly doesn't happen in any hospital I've ever worked in or visited.  Every hospital has an infection control department that monitors all aspects of cleanliness throughout the hospital.   don't how long ago you were a nurse but it must have decades ago and not in a major hospital. 

 

  


 


@chrystaltree  never heard that before either but consider the source (Joan Rivers)

Re: Hospital care bag

Makeup....face moisturizer, powder, and lip gloss. Really just do that for going home.

 

My thick Barefoot Dream robe...works better than heated blankets.... in that.... I warm up much faster and stay warm much longer than any heated blanket.

 

house slippers...it keeps my non-slip hospital socks clean. 

 

U-shaped neck pillow for when I can set in a chair. Makes it so much more comfortable.
