I am a 19 year old girl who had a kidney transplant exactly 2 years ago. I have just recentlly got a job in a hospital being a hostess, giving out tea, coffee, water and evening meals to patients. With there being a lot of infections around the hospital I’m not sure whether this is the right job for me with being on immunosuppressant and my immune system being low. Can anyone give me there thoughts on what I should and would any of you work here??
