In my first clinical placement day as 2nd year St Clair College collaborative nursing student in Metropolitan Hospital, I was assigned to assess the patient (SS) who was recently done 2 surgical procedures , and as I did the routine checkup of the patient’s data from the medical file and chart, it was mentioned that MRSA test was done 3 days ago as the patient was susceptible to it because of lengthy stay in the hospital but the results were not ready yet. At the door of the room there were notice that to use PPE precaution with the other patient sharing the same room of my patient, so I attempted to wash my hands and wear the gloves to get in the room, but my instructor advised me to wear gown too as the MRSA status was not known yet and the other patient is a known case and a nurse came to add the bed number of my patient to the note of using the PPE.
