Local colleagues are interested how other Nurse Practitioners treat Cdiff.  Do you start isolation precautions as soon as you suspect Cdiff, or do you wait for a confirmed positive stool toxin? Do you still start treatment with Metronidazole or do you just start with oral Vanco? Please share the common standards of treatment in your practice setting.
