I know how you feel. I spent time working at an HIV/AIDS centre last year, and even though I had no exposures I still have little freakouts sometimes. Tell Infection Control and get tested - now, and again in three months. Wear protective gear if this is a risk when taking blood the way you do in your facility. And do something nice to take your mind off it.

I've just posted this on the 1st year nurses thread, but thought it might be more appropriate here... Hi, I'm Bec, a theatre nurse from Australia. I'm currently studying a post graduate course in Nursing Education. One of my assignments is on technology in education, and I was wondering if anyone had any views on this topic. Did you, for example, regularly use resources such as allnurses.com during your degree? Are you involved with nursing groups on Facebook or Myspace? Are the forums/groups you are involved in focussed on the theories, skills and knowledge required for nursing or are they more of a social outlet? Do you have an opinion on online education, particularly when compared to hospital based education? Answers to these, or any views related to the use of technology in nursing education, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks heaps, Bec
