I want to work in a nursing home but I'm a little hesitant because I heard there can be c-diff spores everywhere. I got c-diff one time about ten years ago when I was working in a nursing home, but I was really sick back then, and now I am symptom/med free and a lot stronger. Does anyone know if nursing home staff members are at higher risk of getting c-diff? Also, does anyone work in a medical setting and have a j-pouch, and what are your thoughts?

I am going to give it a try and be extra cautious with wearing gloves. I have an appointment with my gastroenterologist coming up so I'll see what he says but I think he's gonna say to go for it.
