Thanks for that comment. But why is everyone being mean because I'm worried?

You are very kind. I appreciate it. My question is does pancreatitis alcohol influence relate to hep c at all

You are rude

Can't pancreatitis be linked to hepatitis especially if they're alcoholics?

Now this patient came in for elevated blood sugar but she's also has a history of pancreatitis. I guess that's what worried me more.i don't think I touched the dried blood but it made me a little nervous

Is peeling of skin considered an open cut?

What's considered an open cut?

Have you ever touch a side rail and saw dried blood or touch a counter and saw dried blood? Do you panic? Or just simply sanitize or wash your hands. What's the chances of transmitted infection if the blood is a few hours old

Which kind do you guys use?

I don't think it was full. I think it was the secondary tubing that got it stuck and messed up the mechanism.

I think you got the job!

Sometimes these daniels smartsharp containers are not on the best place on the wall and you can bump into them. Are you at risk bumping into a full sharp container that doesn't retract anymore?

Hi and thanks. But I honestly think it was the flush that splattered on me being that it couldn't go in the IV. Plus it was through an IV port which wasn't the closest to the patient

Hey everyone, I'm a new nurse and I think ima a completely hypochondriac. Last night I flushed my pt IV which had some blood return(because he always turns it off or puts the fluids in hold) and as I was flushing it was blocked so much that it squirted on me and some went on my shift and I think on my face. My biggest concern is that idk if it went in my eyes or mouth. This pt is homosexual and may be a drug abuse but nowhere in the chart said he had hiv or hep c. Should I be worried? What are the chances of it being blood that squirted on me or the saline mixed with some blood fluids? I'm freaking out !
