That previous post was to squatmunkie_RN I am sorry that happened to you. But thank you all for your prayers it really means a lot to me I didn't realize it was so much encouragement on here! Lol. I will definitely try to stay off the Internet because it isn't helping and I will ask about extending my meds 2 weeks. You guys have made me feel better and I know prayer changes things for the good! I will keep you posted! And jbumgardner4 I agree with Esme12 we have to treat everyone like their infected and make sure they are as still as possible because you never know who is infected! Thanks again guys!!

I wish that hadn't happened to you but thank you so much for your prayers it's a horrible thing to happen!

Hi guys, I didn't know exactly where to turn to so I'm posting to help gain some personal insight and to calm my nerves. Yesterday morning around 6 am I was giving a SQ heparin shot in a patient's belly. The patient was really thin so I had to try to grab a lot and I remembered telling myself to make sure I do not get stuck! Well I successfully administered the shot but the patient moved so when the needle was coming out he bled a little from the site and with the movement I poked myself on the left hand through my latex glove. I was frozen for about 15 sec cause I could not believe it!! When I came out of my trance and lifted my glove I was bleeding and went to the sink and washed my hands and bled for like 2 minutes even though it was a small prick. I thought I was always so careful! Well needless to say the patients history is HIV+ and hep C+ and I am so distraught. I was so embarrassed I didn't tell my charge nurse I just waited until 715 and told my assistant nurse manager in confidence and she told me what to do. I went to the employee clinic and had base blood work drawn his blood work indicated that he did have HIV with counts greater than 50 and Hep C+. She put me on a high dose 14 day aggressive regimen of combivir 1 pill 2x a day and kaletra 2 pills 2x a day. Guys not only do I need help from fellow nurses but also your prayers I know the statistics to catch anything is very low but I am so worried. Has anyone else been through this? I have to get checked in 2 weeks 6 weeks 3 mos 6 mos 9 mos and 1 year. I will definitely keep you posted and any feedback would be greatly appreciated!!!

Oh- and just to let anyone know who actually needed encouragement about nclex- I got 5 SATAs no meds 2 diagrams a bunch of priority and delegation- so dont freak out like I did! my test stopped at 109 and I passed and i thought i failed because most people got like 15-30 SATAs and math questions. So dont worry and relax and leave it to GOD- you can do it and you will! Be Blessed!

PVT works!!! I passed!

i just tried the pop up and got the good pop up- what if it is a mistake and i still failed?

Hi you guys took nclex today and i prayed about it and studied Kaplan. I had 109 questions and only 5 SATA! the computer shut down on the last SATA and I know that's bad. I'm trying to think positive but I just feel bummed out. I was working as a RNA and will lose that job if i failed? anybody got few SATA and the computer actually shut down on 1 and pass? Im so nervous i cannot eat. I know that God's will will be done either way- I just don't know what to do!
