open-toed shoes on a psych/mental health unit

If there is not an OSHA rule I think you can wear them depending on your facility rules. However, I don't see what the benefits would be. I was actually drawing up meds once and dropped the syringe and it landed on my foot. Thank goodness for my shoes! You never know what can happen during a day of nursing so the more protection the better.

I agree...we could wear anything we want outside the hosp,but while on duty let's just keep ourselves simple This will make us even more comfortable too
