Hi,

Wondering if those of you out there that work in the medical

field have concerns about taking these immunosuppressant drugs while

working in direct patient contact. I am a flight nurse and we fly

all sorts of bad bugs at times. My doc wants to put me on

methotrexate and i'm really hemming and hawing about it. Anyone out

there have any advice?

I am a nurse in a family practice office. I (knock on wood) never pick up

anything and we have children with snotty noses, diarrhea and do wound care

that have MRSA and just don't pick up anything. I practice good hand

washing techniques. I have been on various meds since 1993 and have been a

nurse for 1980. Currently I am on Arava and Enbrel.
