The co-workers statement/reasoning that she already had chickenpox when she was a child so she does not need to wash her hands is unacceptable. She may be immune to getting chickenpox but what if the child she sees next is not. Her not washing her hands after seeing a patient who has chicken pox can be a direct contact of transmission. I would strongly recommend her to wash her hands thoroughly so the next patient she sees is not at risk of catching chickenpox. If the medical assistant will not wash their hands then I would recommend applying some alcohol-based hand sanitizer. The patient who has chickenpox is the reservoir in the chain of infection. The medical assistant is the susceptible host in the chain of infection; which does include

Since coming to work at PREMIER Bankcard I have had the opportunity to see how relationships are started, develop, and the trials they go through. The relationship that stands out most in my mind is the relationship I have with one of the other interns named John. When we first started working together, he would tell me stories all the time about school and his childhood, or he would talk about sports with me. John would also message me the second I logged on to my instant messenger, then proceed to message me all day. This was the beginning of a relationship, talking a lot and disclosing information about one another, trying to figure out if you like what you are hearing and then if you do, start hanging out.
At the beginning of the summer I got a job as a camp counselor at the YMCA. Because I was so new to the job I wasn’t ready to lead big groups of kids. Most of my other co-workers had been there for several years and had lots of experience. Because of this, they all had no problem taking lead and controlling the large group of six year olds. However, one day during about the third week of camp two of my experienced co-counselors were out.

I took on a lot that day and it all started when we needed to get to our next station which was swimming.

Romance in the workplace often begins when colleagues spend the majority of their time together in the workplace.
