First of all, if you are in the hospital, your room will have a sign outside that says "Contact Precautions". This means that anyone who enters the room (including any visitors) will need to wear a gown and gloves. This is to protect against the spread of MRSA. That is one of the nurse's important tasks.
It is the nurse's responsibility to understand MRSA, and to understand how to properly wear PPE (personal protective equipment) and wash their hands to prevent the spread of infection. Manuals like this one provide nurse's with this information: http://www.health.gov.nl.ca/health/publichealth/cdc/infectioncontrol/mrsa_manual_for_nurses_other_healthcare_workers.pdf.
Another important task of the nurse is to educate you as the patient, so that you understand what MRSA is, how it is treated, and what you can do yourself to get better and to prevent the further spread of MRSA.
Websites like this one will help you learn more about MRSA: http://www.upmc.com/patients-visitors/education/infection-control/Pages/mrsa.aspx.
For example, do you know the difference between MRSA colonization and MRSA infection? MRSA colonization is when the MRSA bug is colonizing on your body (likely in the nares of your nose, or in your armpits for example), but you aren't feeling sick. This can be determined through a nasal swab that is tested in the lab.
A MRSA infection, however, is when the MRSA bug actually invades your tissues. You will start feeling sick (you might have a fever or inflammation), or you might have a wound that won't heal. This is when the infection will need to be treated with antibiotics.
Besides preventing the spread and providing you with information, the
other nursing care will depend on what sort of infection that you have. If you
have a wound, the nurse will help to clean and dress the wound. The nurse may
also help administer the correct antibiotics ordered for your infection, and
help to treat your fever or other symptoms.
