Probably every nurse in a hospital or nursing home has MRSA in the nares. Big surprise, huh? Our hospital has the same policy for MRSA in the nares, full contact precautions. In addition, their visitors, who brought them to the hospital and will take them home, have to dress out. But the patient who is coming in for a bronchoscopy with possible TB can sit in the waiting room without any precautions being maintained. Go figure!
