There's no way to prevent hepatitis, so is he has that I will likely get it. But the patient was tested for both in Jan, and was negative, so chances are everything will be fine. Just not looking forward to 5 days sick.
Thanks for the support!

I think you are handling this very well. Being that you are a nurse, I knew you could handle this!
