Ummm... Help?

So Im in my second term of LPN classes and Am finally getting into the swing of thinings at clinical. I never thought I would enjoy it so much however I was at my clinical site when i was exposed to Hep positive blood I have been vacinated against B, However the patient has 2 kinds and I had no open skin in the location of the exposure. But I'm a bit freaked out. should I worry?:eek:

No broken skin is good. Also, people who come down with hepatitis after minimal exposures like yours would have to have really run down immune systems. If your immune system is in good shape you have that going for you as well. What was the other hepatitis?

Did you report the exposure? Make sure you report if if you haven't done so already. Part of reporting the exposure would have included giving you information about follow up care.

Here is the information portal on the CDC about Hepatitis. You can find just about any information about any of the different forms of hepatitis here:

i hope you informed your school and went to the dr. you should have had a baselinbe lab study done so if something freakish happens in a few months from now you had proof you werent infected---its a liability issue.look into this---hope ur well
