Hello,
What are the suggestions and proper course of action if a nurse gets stuck with a needle on a job? It was an accident: patient jerk and nurse got stuck.
There are typical procedures for that in a hospital and they have drawn blood, etc to find if anything transferred. However, some diseases, like HIV, hep do not show up for months. Obviously some can become serious life-time issues, while others can be cured or managed. But it can be very expensive.
Not sure what to go from here or how to proceed. Please advise.
Thank you.
