How Was Your First Week in the AIDS Ward?

M: Hi, Susan. How’s it going? How was your first week in the AIDS ward?

F: OK, I guess. But I never realized how many different things nurses have to do. There’s a lot to learn ...

M: There sure is! That's why we're having this meeting today, Susan. As your advisor, it’s my responsibility to help you learn your new job. We've found that sometimes our new nurses have trouble adjusting to the AIDS ward.

F: Actually, I do feel worried about being here.

M: That’s normal. I felt the same way when I started. What are you nervous about?

F: I know it sounds dumb, but I keep thinking that I might get infected with HIV. I know there isn't a very big risk, but I’m still worried, My friends are worried, too.

M: What are your friends saying?

F: Well, some of them don’t want to be around me now. I think they're afraid that they’ll get HIV somehow. One friend always used to give me rides in her car, but she won’t drive me to work now because she's afraid I'll get the virus in her car!

M: That’s difficult situation. But it’s good opportunity to teach your friends the facts about HIV and AIDS, so they’ll know they're wrong, And if they don’t want to learn anything, maybe they aren’t good friends. I know I lost a few friends when I started working here.

F: My family’s also woried. My mother keeps saying, “You can't be too careful!” She's afraid that I’ll get AIDS from a patient. So I try to be very careful. I always wear the protective clothing, you know, the rubber gloves, paper clothing, and plastic glasses. But then something strange happened.

M: What happened?
