Nurses obtaining c.diff

Nurses General Nursing

Published

hello,

I am currently a nursing student working as a CNA until I receive my RN. I have a co-worker that is a wicked hypocondriac. She does everything she is supossed to do to keep herself clean, but for some reason, she seems to think she has accuired C.diff. She came to me for more info, but i couldn't really tell her anything new. I have done research online, and still no new information.

my question is. Can a healthcare worker accuire that basteria from her patients, or is she just overreacting?

Also, how would she know if she had it or not?

thanks,

concerened co worker:cool:

Specializes in Cardiac Telemetry, ED.

I'm really sorry. That's awful.
