There sure are a lot of nurses in MW! I an a hospice RN, but I don't see patients routinely anymore. I mostly do consults in the hospital, so that is where I an exposed to most of my viruses and bacteria - from patients' families, and from the doctors and nurses :-/ - PrincessKristin

Ya I'm an ER rn and its been kickin my butt ! My immune system is not strong enough to fight off all these viruses ! I guess I mean I hope it takes time to work up ur immune system I've only been an offical rn for a yr . Was a medical asst forever ! And then I worked as a cna as well for mentally and phycially challenged clients . That job was the toughest only b.c u need a lot of patience and a big heart to work in that area. - Donaldlover1005
