Any other medical professionals out there? What would you do? It's terribly early on in my pregnancy and I have no intention of saying anything to my boss or coworkers yet but...I just found out there is a scabies outbreak on one of the wings. I'm so nervous I'll have to cover that wing. The medication I would have to be treated with is not necessarily safe in the first trimester. Also I supervise the whole entire building on the weekends so there is a good chance I will have to at least have contact with this wing. Supposedly it is just one resident that has scabies but they isolated the whole wing and are treating everyone as if they have it. Would you say something to your boss or hope and pray you don't have to report to that wing?

When we had a scabies break out, all I could do was be careful. I wore the gown and gloves and did what I was trained to do. At night here there are only two of us, so it's just not possible to not care for the resident. Same with shingles. :-/
Hmmmm I'm so not ready yet. Have not even had my first doctors appointment yet. I can't imagine anyone being able to bottle information up like that. Shit always gets out. My boss would have to tell the scheduler so she doesn't schedule me there and such.
2 b on the safe side tell ur boss but ask them not 2 say anything yet
@ashalay88, thank you :). I guess I'm being crazy overly cautious. I think I'm gonna hope for now im on a deferent unit and if not I might say something. I'm not too worried about the weekend because I don't have to come on the unit unless there is an emergency.
