Curious....have you heard this before? And, the employee health nurse also told me that like MANY Americans, many nurses and/or other health care employees have NO idea they have Hep C ....how scary!!?? She also added that many do not know HOW they got it? (meaning, if not from a needle-stick or other workplace accident involving blood, they have NONE of the typical history of Hep C patients, and don't know how they got it)
I'm also VERY curious how your facility handles PATIENTS with Hep C. At two diffeent places I've worked, many people freak OUT when we've had patients with Hep C.....one place had Isolation carts, and the other place place didn't.....what is the policy with Hep C + patients where YOU work?
