Can you work while you are on the INH or do they require you to take time off?

Thanks everyone! I thought it was odd everyone was making a huge deal about 7 mm since I knew that isn't even positive for myself...I'm not immunocompromised or anything...and the CRNP who gave me my test yesterday seemed overly concerned about that...

A carrier would be someone who has been exposed and has a latent infection. That is what a Chest Xray rules out. If you are a "carrier", it would show up in the Xray and you would be required to take a long course of antibiotics.

I'm starting my first GN job in August and my commute is around an hour with traffic. I have a beater car now that clunks, squeals, clicks, and randomly dies but gets upwards of 33 mpg. I'm looking to buy a new car once I get some cash in my pocket. ...

Thanks guys! I have been worried b/c I've heard nurses complaining about 12's, but now I am happy to hear that they aren't so bad. I was also worried about having to stay late for 12's to catch up on charting but maybe that won't happen as often as I...
