The LPN on duty told me at the end of my shift that test results regarding one of our residents was MRSA positive. I have been working with her occasionally over the past few months (including TODAY), and don't know how long she's had it. I always wear gloves while providing care...but I came home from work today and just cried my eyes out. I had no additional protective gear and we are instructed to take gloves off BEFORE leaving the residents room. I'm going to be tested tomorrow. This whole thing has me reconsidering becoming a nurse.
