don't know what to tell except kinda play it by ear...if you are feeling better go for it...you don't want to infect anyone but sometimes getting up and going is the best thing
Thanks. Well, the worst part is that my clinical is on an oncology floor--not that there aren't other patients on the floor--but clearly there will be some immunocompromised folks there.

Or...how do I tell when I can go back?I've had a URI since a week ago Sunday, thought I was doing better today. I went to school to make up some of my clinical time (by doing alternative activities) and came home and was running a low grade temp. (99.3; normal for me is around 98.0).
Thanks,

For us, it depends where we are. I've never been on an oncology floor, maybe ask your instructor to put you with a low risk patient. There strict about it whenever we're in the nursery or labord and delivery, peds...if we have a cold, we aren't allowed to attend. Be extra careful about handwashing.
