Hello everyone, i work on a medsurg/tele floor.. was helping the CNA clean up an elderly patient. Patient was wearing a diaper full of poop and the CNA grabbed a basin with soap and water and wash cloths. As she was wiping the patient she would dip her glove to grab more wash cloths etc... she did a motion with her glove at me to help turn the patient and I felt a flick of something wet land near the side of my eye. I felt it drip near my eye and I walked to the mirror. I did not see anything bloody or with any obvious body fluids so I wiped the side of my eye off with a paper towel and water and continued to help her... was wearing gown gloves mask and eye glasses.. but I think my eye glasses were falling down my nose which caused whatever splash to happen. Patient is elderly 85 years old with no history of any blood borne pathogen or serious infectious disease other than UTI. Patient has history of stroke so she was contracted and nonverbal, according to doc notes she's cared for at home. Anyway my question is should I have reported this incident ? I feel like it wasn't a significant "exposure" , but I'm not sure and it would be a great help to know whether I should go to employee health Monday morning or not...please help, thank you.

Cool!! I'll see you there. Do you know if we have to wear uniforms tomorrow?

Anyone in section U01 for classes???

@DeepBreath, thank you so much... I am sooo scared.. you have NO idea!!!

Guys the patho books still arent available for me.... Can someone tell me the exact title and edition and stuff so i can get it?

@DeepBreath I keep hearing the same thing from a lot of people about FIU.. that you do everything on your own and that there aren't really professors who care, but I am going to try my hardest. Any valuable advice you can give me? The medical math exam is scaring me.. i am not very good at math lol

guys how do you get the One Card and is financial aid available to use to buy books yet??

Yeah, you take the virtual one and then you pay $35 for the real one.... i think

I heard good things about both schools. Financially, FIU is a better choice for me. I really wanted to go to Nova, but I got almost no financial aid from them, and I also heard that transfer nursing students don't qualify for scholarships from Nova. So, FIU it is... I just wanted to hear some experiences from people who have spoked to nurses in terms of being more prepared, and getting hired, and feeling confident in the hospital setting. I feel that is very important... and I've heard different reviews for both on both ends of the spectrum.

I'm having issues signing up for the actual orientation too! I took the virtual one, but that's it. It's being weird!! Any help would be appreciated! Can't wait to see everyone on June 10th!

@almost.there.stan Thank you!!!!

Anyone know where it says to pay the $200 FIU deposit???

@pookyp Really??? Wow... That's crazy.

@SoniaReb .. Yes I can commute. Nova is about 25 minutes away from me, FIU is about 45 minutes away from me. And yes, the price is what's repelling me from Nova...So your son enjoyed the program?

Hello everyone. I got accepted into Nova's nursing school and I was set on it (wondering how I am going to pay for it) but set on it. Then yesterday I receive an email saying I got into FIU's nursing. I know FIU's school is substantially cheaper than Nova.. So I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on which one to choose... If any current nursing students could tell me about their experiences in the programs? Anything!! This is eating away at me and I can't seem to make a choice, so PLEASE HELP!!
