Thanks so much! I guess healthcare areas do tend to be more clean than any other places, it only makes sense right? I think its this whole Ebola thing that has me freaking out more than usual.

Hmm BMT sounds interesting. I've had a bone marrow biopsy done before so I'm guessing that's along the same lines? I'll look into that. Thanks

Thanks a lot. I know it's a stupid question, but I'm just scared. My Lupus has gotten very severe and has left me in critical condition in the ICU. I'm currently in remission and desperate for it to stay that way, but I guess my desperation has made me overreact sometimes. I have an appointment coming up this month, so I'll run it by him :)

Hello all. I have a problem. I've always wanted to work in the healthcare field. When I was little I was always leaning towards vet but as I got older I became more interested in nursing. My plan always was to start school to become an RN. I went to college for a semester and did the cna course and I really did enjoy it (although I don't plan on being a cna) but it really opened my eyes as in how much you are exposed to bacteria and infection. This was never a huge deal to me, but in 2010 I was diagnosed with Lupus and as you may know, my immune system is suppressed in order to control the Lupus. Nursing has always been my interest, but I don't want to be putting myself in situations where my health would be at risk. I'm just afraid and confused. What else is there in the healthcare field that I can do where I can work with patients but not be so exposed to viruses and whatnot? Is that even possible? Thanks so much :)
