5. Nurses grossed out by spit/mucus

   cornhusker red! replied to rnmi2004's topic in General Nursing

   I know where my aversion to mucous came from- I had a male roommate in college, and he had a cold. While I was at work, he proceeded to fill up 3 or four glasses with water and then coughed his nasty sputum into those. Worse- he LEFT for the weeken...

   cornhusker red! posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

   I am a BSN nurse in Med Surg, and I didn't like OB much during school (more power to you all!) which is maybe why I don't remember any more risks. My sister has a 4 year old daughter who was born via emergency C-section for an abruptio. The little ...
