8. Safety and infection control poor

   SuzyQ2011 replied to Wonderlan's topic in NCLEX

   I also have a question about infection control. For droplet and airborne, is it mask/N95 respirator plus gown and gloves? That's how I saw it done in the clinical settings, but I was not sure if this is the case in the NCLEX

    Are you guys just getting the standard parking pass? Can you use it in most parking garages? I'm hoping since our classes are early parking will not be too much of a hassle.
