covid - 19 - PROJECT FIRSTLINE

COVID-19

  

Covid 19 has reminded the world the importance of mitigating the spread of germs (handwashing, covering coughs and mask wearing when necessary). But as nurses we know infection prevention and control (IPC) remains at the core of keeping ourselves and our patients healthy in everything we do. The GNYCBNA will be partnering with the ANA as a Project Firstline grantee to share IPC strategies to our nursing community- so check here for tips and our social media for regular updates.

Recognize the Risks. Take Action. Protect Your Patients.

As you’re going about your workday Standard Precautions are the things you’re doing, every day, for every patient, to keep germs from spreading— regardless of whether you know a patient has a specific infection – because often you don’t know.

Recognizing infection risks goes beyond Standard Precautions. Because no two days in health care are ever the same, there will be moments when healthcare workers might need to apply infection control recommendations to situations that aren’t usually described in guidelines. That’s why understanding how germs spread and make people sick is so helpful – it allows you to recognize infection risks throughout your workday, no matter the moment.

Test Your Knowledge!

Being a healthcare worker means being prepared no matter the situation. How well can you stop germs from spreading when your daily tasks take a turn for the unexpected? Complete an infection control activity to find out (scan the barcode).

What Is "Nurses You Should Know?"

 Started by nurses, Nurses You Should Know is designed to raise awareness to the contributions of nurses of color.     

The Nurses You Should Know team formed in December 2020 to envision a digital space to elevate the stories of nurses of color.

We believe nursing requires all of us to shape and transform the profession and improve outcomes for patients and communities.

Given  the lack of space and attention towards the stories of nurses of color  over the centuries, our editorial decision to highlight the  contributions of nurses of color is designed to intentionally narrow the  representation gap seen throughout the historical and present day nursing narrative.
