yuck.

I don't think I've ever really posted about my job here on the little blog. But the last couple days there's been a lot of press about MRSA infections, so I felt like I had to comment. I am an RN. I work in a big urban hospital. And I'm exposed to patients who are infected with MRSA daily. I really love my job. But I really don't love the fact that I may potentially expose myself or members of my family to really gross stuff like MRSA. Honestly, it's scary. And frustrating. Because I enjoy the work I'm doing, but if I were an accountant, or a lawyer, or worked in any kind of office I probably wouldn't have those worries. But hey- I guess them's the breaks. Like what you do, hate the risks? Just makes you think... Wash those hands!
