    I also wear gloves when diapering and any handling of breastmilk. I do feel the babies also need the human touch with most aspects of their care. Most of the MRSA and infection I believe comes from...

    Run girl, RUN!!! Women have to study about money and how to make money!!! Don't be a nurse. Admit, where I work in South Florida means that you are carrying the load of 3 patients plus FIRST ADMIT....
