I guess I was worried it would be on the physical assement form my doctor ( the one that diagnosed me with mrsa) has to fill out for the school or that the meds might show up and be questioned on the drug screen.

The Dr gave me clindamycin and mupirocin. My reaction is due to the fact that when a few people( family and close friend) found out I have MRSA their reactions were all very similar....shock and horror followed by...that sucks for you, I hope this doesn't end your chance to go to nursing school! Then I got all paranoid :)

Hi everyone I have a question about MRSA. I was recently went to the Dr and asked him to look at a boil I have on my hip. They called back a few days later to tell me that the cultures they took show I have MRSA. I just got accepted I to nursing school and start in January but now I am freaking out wondering how this will affect my career choice! Will I still be able to attend school? Clinicals? Be hired as a nurse? Work in a hospital? I am a 33 yr old single mom of three PLEASE someone...anyone tell me that all the time and money I have invested up to this point has not been a complete waste!
