Specializes in ER.

OK so I am taking my online RN-BSN classes and I need some help with my topic...I mailed my coach, but she hasnt responded...

I have to do an evidence based practice paper and I need to come up with a topic by Mon. I am thinking (b/c I work in the ER) doing something on blood culture contamination. We have been having to change our protocols alot because our contamination rate is higher than it should be...
