Migraine

I have been working on seeing if we can get some of my coworkers to stop wearing perfumes due to my migraines. I work in a Nursing Home (long term care facility) and there are lots of Nurses, CNAs and other staff who wear very strong perfume. I posted a note asking them to read Teri's letter, put it by the time sheets hoping they will read it. The social services director said they are having a meeting of the department heads and she is going to bring the subject up and give them the info I gave to her. I am hoping this will help. She and my charge nurse said my note was tactful, so I was glad. I am not always as tactful as I should be I will see how it goes.

Good luck to you.

I do know that quite a few medical facilities, be they hospitals or nursing homes, have rules in place governing perfumes and colognes, and quite a few of them specify that staff in contact with patients cannot wear perfumes at all, in respect to patient sensitivities. I think it's a good rule.

i work in a restruant, and my problems is not only co workers but customers as well. so there are days when work is sheer torture. please let us know if it helps get your co workers to stop with the perfume already
