Your facility should have a shower for you to wash before you leave. I would also keep your nursing uniform at your place of employment, and change clothes before you leave. Put your soiled clothes in a baggie and take them home if they do not wash your uniforms for you. You are right to be concerned about the risk of spreading MRSA to your child. Or indeed, to anyone else in the community. Check with your facilities infection control nurse or doctor - they are required to have one if they are caring for MRSA-infected patients. If they don't have one, then contact OSHA.Working in a Nursing home with MRSA cases.....?
If you come into contact with MRSA cases at work, you are constantly at risk of infection, no matter how many times you may wash your hands. MRSA bacterium have been found living on coins, medical charts, divider curtains, lockers and bedding.





The only real way of protecting yourself and your Daughter from infection is to immunise yourself against the pathogen. This can be done quite simply by using an internal antimicrobial product that is proven to eradicate MRSA and a lot of other known pathogens, viruses and protozoans.





New Silver Solution is the only patented product that has this ability. It is non-toxic, has no side-effects and is very highly regarded as a preventative measure against all types of infections.

Hope that helps you as much as taking the solution has helped others...
Good handwashing is about the best you can do. In a worst-case scenario, if you're a carrier, you actually carry it in your nose. People always inadvertantly wipe their nose with their hands, and that's how it gets everywhere. Buy handsanitizer for your home too, to encourage everyone there to clean their hands as often as possible.
As an ICU nurse I see MRSA everyday. These patients are put on contact isolation which requires all who enter the room to wear gloves and a gown that covers their clothes. The gloves and gown are disposed of inside the room before leaving and everyone has to wash their hands. If you don't have gowns to wear over your clothes, I wouldn't pick up my daughter until I stripped and bathed at home.
u dump your daughter in daycare? y don't u stay home and raise her like a real parent would?
