MRSA as I read is some kind of highly infectious staph that is

easily transmittable in hospitals.These were the people being

quarantined w/ the pink signs.Did yahoo search on mrsa and found

it.Can I take my son out of the hospital, will I get in trouble?I

called my mom and told her not to let my son out of his room til i

get there in am.I simply dont trust dr.s, or nurses, or anyone else

for that matter(in the medical field)The kids are just another #, i

understand how it becomes that way, but just the same its my sons

LIFE ive put in their hands.I'm beside myself

Yes, he's there for his 1st tuneup.I'm always so afraid of being a

pain in the medical peoples rumps, but i dont care.I have had to

follow behind them asking them to wash their hands, 2nite i had to

ask the nurse to have enviromental wash the sink, its like having

more children.They dont understand the risk their taking w/peoples

lives.

My daughter is a lab tech. She should be home in 30 minutes. I will

call and ask her about this and respond to you.

We dealt with something similar in Toronto -SARS. It was a nightmare

for me to get admitted. I had to go in this summer/spring, and it was

madness since CF symptoms are exactly like SARS. It was crazy, and

very unpleasant for me in this city. People were running away from me

on the subway ever time I coughed.

Anyhow, I say get your kid out f you can. Can you have home-care? I'm

sorry I don't know why son is there. If for a tune-up then yeah.

Otherwise it might not be possible.

I don't trust doctors and nurses either. I get my meds from them. But

otherwise I am cautious.

Does the person with MRSA have a different nurse than Tyler? I

thought that hospitals did that to reduce cross contamination.

The nurse that comes to see me every morning never, and I mean NEVER

washes his hands. As he inserts a new IV every couple of days. i have

to remind him every day. I understand what you're saying. I don't

know why people see no need to prevent more disease. It's strange, but

I ask him several time, along with 'can you help me clean up the

needles and such from the kitchen'. I never say it, but I think it:

Is that not your JOB?? It's frustrating.

as a nurse I can say that any medical staff that enter an environment likr MRSA

are supposed to gown and glove and mask and dispose of these items and wash

hands thouroghly when leaving the room and there should be a seperate

stethoscope, b/p cuff and thermometer in each isolation room which will be

disinfected when the pt is discharged. Now that does not mean that this happens

but that is what is supposed to so I would watch the nurses who enter the MRSA

rooms and see idf they take the proper precautions

Don't be afraid of being a pain! That's your job. :) We've got to stand

up for our kids and make sure they get what they need. You're doing a great

job of it, it sounds like. :)

My boyfriend is an RN (and charge nurse too) at a children's hospital in

Oregon. From what he has told me I think the mask & glove procedure when

dealing with kids with contagious bugs is pretty standard. Right now they

have 7 CF kids inpatient on the floor where he works! 'Tis the season!

I am in Vancouver, B.C. Canada and my husband is a nurse here. He

says at his hospital if any one has MRSA they are put in isolation.

Also universal precautions ie. hand washing, are always to be

practiced.
