I am doing my preceptorship and we had a code blue on someone else's patient . I did CPR but then noticed my pants got wet from his blood coming out of his IV. He was not contact precautions but he was positive for staph when I looked at his chart. I was wondering if that is common, and if I shouldn't worry.

What specifically are you worried about? If you're doing your preceptorship, that would mean that you're almost done with nursing school, yes? What have you been taught about blood borne pathogens?
