Maybe? I'm a firefighter/paramedic (with training and experience in hazmat operations). I don't know anything about the specific procedures used in this case. I doubt they do in this case though. Probably at the end of the shift, but when you are in and out of a patient's room a dozen times a day, it's not likely they do a full decon each time. EDIT: Just reread your post after seeing frankydp's reply. I thought you were asking about decon showers _after_ removing PPE. frankydp is absolutely correct that showering while wearing most styles of PPE is a bad idea.
