Hello all. I have the opportunity to work in a nursing home for the second half of my senior year social work internship. I like the place and am excited about exploring a new and different field in social work than forensic. But...
I am kind of concerned about the exposure to illness. I am on gilenya and have the expected lower WBC. I have not felt more susceptible to illness or disease so far but health care facilities seem to be germier than any place I usually frequent!
Can anyone give me their two cents? I'd love to hear from someone who does or has worked in a health care setting and how you think it affected your health. Thanks!
