hi everyone.... Here's my story..I work in LTC, and I'm a float on 6 different floors. 10 days ago I worked on a floor that had a lady with scabies..needless to say i have been itching since. She has a tube her meds and feedings. She had already finished her first treatment and was starting her 2nd that day. Anyone know how contagious these buggies are after 1 treaTment?? Thanks

Hey all Been a LPN for 5 years. Was told to do something outside my scope of practice. Refused. Got written up. Now being harassed at work. What a joke. Nursing is nothing I thought it would be. Ugggghh just needed to vent. Sorry Casey

Hi everyoneLast night I was giving insulin and as I went to push the safety up somehow I poked my finger..immedaitly started panicking. Washed my hands used alcohol on the affected area. Told the supervisor filled out paperwork..was told not to worry the resident is clear of any blood bourne illness (I work in a long term care facility)...needless to say I'm still panicking. The resident consented to a blood draw but my supervisor says its just for my reassurance they already know his complete history...still panicking
