THE TIME I GOT A NEEDLE STICK...what I wish I knew then...

In this video, I share a bit about the time I got a needle stick, how it felt, what I did afterwards, and so much more! Through this experience, I learned that I do not have antibodies against Hep B, leaving me at higher-risk for contracting this disease through work related exposures. So many healthcare workers are in the same position I am, and need to know there are newer vaccine options available. To learn more, please visit: www.questionmyprotection.com

I found out I didn’t have hep B antibodies when I started nursing school. I got the booster as well and then when I started my first job after graduation, I was retested as well and again came back a non-responder. I totally get the uneasy feeling.

[@nick4fit]

Nurses go through so much😩😩😩

[@Thewades2022]

Your camera quality is amazing

[@vintagepanda9410]

I feel you on the non-responder thing. I had the three course track as a child, when I entered the profession I found out I have 0 immunity to Hep B. Got a booster and when I was tested again 2 years later my immunity was back into the negative range so they had to give me a double strength booster so fingers crossed I stay immune this time haha.

[@NursingWithBenomi]

Interesting video! I never heard of "non-responders" to the Hep B vaccine

[@francispavia866]

i got prick during an ongoing case inside the OR but the needle was not yet used to the patient. I was loading it in the needle holder when it happened. i immediately removed my gloves and don a sterile one. Is there still any risk?

[@lisacole2755]

I wonder if the 2 dose heplisav-b would work as a good booster for those who already had the 3 dose traditional hep b series.

[@danielbanando5167]

I am currently undergoing Hemodialysis Now I know exactly why I have been recently been given the Hepatitis B vaccine 3 times recently by my dialysis nurses

[@Nurse.Rachel]

Ashley!! This EXACT thing happened to me a couple of months ago! However, the patient I gave insulin to was super combative so that led to mine but omg so crazy how this can happen to us

[@AshleyLorenaAdkins]

Yes!!! And it happens more than we think!

[@dilbertdoe601]

Still here. 🤩

[@jameswesley7573]

I am in my second semester studying as a male nurse. I think its a fun experience.

[@private4701]

This made me feel abit better, now being in the moment when i just got stuck by the needle hours ago i can’t see this aspect i hope it will be an exciting experience for the future

[@AM-my7kw]

I work in the UK and have got a needle stick injury ..went to the hospital and took me 4 hrs waiting to see a GP and he said we only take blood to save it from u and u shouldn't be afraid and no need to worry if the pt medical history is all good and hes a low risk ...now Iam still so scared and don't know what to do .should I request that the pt need also to have tests done ? For me its been few days and I don't think anything will show in the tests

[@musicgirl999]

I was a dental assistant for over a year (was let go for performance but also knew it wasn’t for me) before I decided to go back into the child development world after being out of child care for several years. While assisting, I accidentally stuck myself with a needle while trying to properly dispose of it. I don’t think my employer was as compassionate in my case as yours was with you.

[@glowingxlights9652]

I’m also a dental assistant and this just happened to me I’m so worried.

[@musicgirl999]

@@glowingxlights9652 Go to an urgent care asap and get tested for hiv and Hep B! If you didn’t get the Hep B series get started on it asap! If you got the series as a kid, the immunity likely has already lingered out of your system. I had an immunity test done for it before I started the vaccine series over again. I didn’t even know you’re only immune for so long.

[@meganhanifin1708]

My titer was negative for Hep B even after my booster shots also! Scary stuff 🤔

[@hayleysanford8301]

the same thing happened to me! I didn't know I was a non-responder until I had a body fluid exposure at work!

[@mizzchuz.6413]

A surgeon acquaintance of our family did die from Hep needle exposure. It really does happen.

[@weronikaziobro-feret3821]

I also was vaccinated against hep b and don’t have antibodies…

[@pollysboutique3226]

I got all 3 doses plus 3 or 4 booster shots in the past few years - still no antibodies ! They said there is nothing else they can do .. my body just doesn’t develop antibodies !
