    I work on a Labor and Delivery floor in a hospital as a RN. Within the last 6 years I have noticed a trend. My patients as a rule, do not wash their hands. (This includes after using the bathroom, changing bloody pads, etc.) Even suggestions to wash their hands, some even act as if I didn't say anything. It has nothing to do with being a young patient, as I have seen this behavior in 16 year olds as in 30 year olds, and in educated verus uneducated.
