Thanks for all the info. I did get cultured today and hope for a neg. I hear all the gossip about the "dirty" patients. Those in MRSA isolation. I don't want to pass on MRSA to a baby, but I'm also nervous about working with a group of nurses who gossip. The nurse with MRSA, what a topic that would be. Thanks again.

Wondering what you all think I should do. I work in a large NICU. My husband was recently hospitalized and found to have MRSA. Although I've been tested many times and have always been neg. I wonder if I brought this home on my clothes and infected him. I feel guilty, but my question is should I notify my manager or not. I plan to be retested prior to working again, but the I think the chances of eventual colonization are good. Has anyone been found to be colonized , what does your unit do, and should I consider a job change. I would feel awful if I infected a premie. thanks
