the majority of hospital heathcare workers are colonized by MRSA bacteria - as long as it doesn't get in your bloodstream (via a cut) it is perfectly harmless.
The reason a MRSA positive patient is under contact precautions is to prevent transmission via healthcare workers, and other staff to other patients.
As long as you washed your hands afterward you are fine.My glove broke when i was in an isolation room for MRSA, what are the chances of me contracting the infection?
Well if you work at a hospital you probably are already a carrier for MRSA. I don't think the chance of getting it is high though.
Did you wash your hands afterwards?
The risk is minimal.
