Asked By:Samrivsmile

Hello everyone, I am a travel nurse that will have to get fit tested for a N95 mask. Currently, I am 3 months post op and I continue to have a hard tip (I will be getting a shot in my nose in January). That being said, will wearing the N95 mask for 10-15 minutes have a huge impact on nose?
