Unfortunately, due to the shortage of nurses they are often given assignments of patients that are resistant to antibiotics and "normal" patients. If your nurse followed good handwashing, you should be fine. They should also use gowns and masks when going into a patient's room who has that type of infection. As far as not checking the expiration date on your Jevity, that is inexcusable. It does not matter if it came from another facility or not. It should have been caught by the dietician or the nurse, NOT the patient!!
