Hoping and praying the results for you will be clean and pure so you may be assured nothing awful was transmitted. I have the deepest respect for you and all of your "nurse-mates" [female and male] as yours is one of the most stressful and high risk careers there can be on this planet. Thank you for being YOU and caring for all who need medical attention!!

Oh dear, you've been dealt a rough hand. This happened to my dtr in law recently, but it was a small prick about six months ago and think she is ok, though she's worried herself sick.
You hang in there, and somehow feel yourself surrounded by the love and hope. Take care! ![]() Quote:

I have been in the same place as you were Pooh. In my 40 years as an RN, I received 2 dirty needle stick injuries, and just before I retired I was stabbed with a pair of dirty scissors from an "at risk" patient. You're right! All those tests are a pain in the neck, and that 3 month wait seems like forever. But it WILL be OK. I'll be thinking of you and praying for a negative result. I "knew" mine would be negative and it was! Your's will be too!
![]() What a shame I didn't know that you were a nurse too before we both left the profession. We could have chatted hospital type gossip and had a good old natter. ![]()

As of this date I am still trying to be a nurse. Each day is harder then the last....
![]() So about 4pm the flood gates open up ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And the higher ups wonder why nurse turn over is so high. Just so tired of working here there and everywhere in the facility... Still waiting to hear my blood results..... Saw my own provider yesterday for some concerns, this clinic visit was questioned my the infection control nurse and human resources "why would she need to do that?? ![]() The last helps, as well as the fact he is a personal friend as well as my caregiver, and my coworker The kind caring attitude of my employer, my spouse and other non-nursing staff is killing me. I wonder if I can take disability due to my pain, my depression and my just plain reaching my limit on the burnout scale ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Just so tired of it all

Oh Pooh .... I hear you!
Shades of my evening and night shifts while I was working. I had evenings just like that one, and I worked the night shift after the evening that you had, so I do understand the conditions that you're working under. It's a shame that you couldn't demand an extra staff member, but I know that nearly always impossible! If only we all lived in a perfect world...... At one stage I heard there were more registered nurses working in Myer (a chain store here in Australia), than there were RNs working in hospitals in the whole of the state. With the conditions that RNs sometimes have to work under, it's no wonder that they cannot retain staff. ![]() I hope you feel better soon. Meanwhile, please know that I understand at least some of what you're going through. I may be retired now, but I do understand. ![]()

Still waiting not so patiently for my lab results.. Mark has been trying to help me cope with the
'everything". I appreciate his efforts as well as all of you here....Very frustrated with work at this time. Would like to change employers but I do not think that would be helpful in the long road. ![]() Thanks again

Well today I finally got the results of both my blood work and the patient. We are both negative at this time. However I will still have to have blood work drawn at 6 and12 weeks the 6 months. Both docs from the "city" made changes in my meds and plan of care. I will return for follow-up visits in 1 month. I finally have gotten the schedulers in both clinics to work with me so I only have to make 1 trip
![]() I hope this finds you all coping with the world....
