    OliverElio87 replied to Bo3939's topic in General Students

    Easy. Forget the PPD and get a Quantiferon Gold blood test (TB testing). The hospital I work for doesn't even do PPD's anymore. All healthcare workers need to do Quantiferon. From the CDC: "The...

    OliverElio87 replied to Lapzs's topic in General Nursing
