My coworkers did not alert me to the dx and I answered a coworker's vent alarm without PPE. As I approached the pt the tubing disconnected spewing mist and blood tinged secretions in my face. 24 hrs later I learned of the patient's dx, and am obviously concerned. I've filed a report with my manager and surprisingly, employee health has NOT contacted me. We are NOT a WC facility (employer owned benefit plan...HCA) Any input from my wise friends at Allnurses? I do not necessarily trust my hospital to look after MY best interest here. Any input, comments, advice appreciated. Believe it or not this has never happened to me in 27 yrs.
