Course overview
The purpose of this course is to ensure that nurses of all educational backgrounds and licensures (licensed practical nurses [LPNs], registered nurses [RNs], and advanced practice nurses [APRNs]) understand the core infection prevention and control principles to preserve a safe and effective patient care environment and apply evidence-based interventions to minimize the transmission of pathogens to patients and health care workers (HCWs). In August 1992, Chapter 786 of the Laws of 1992 established a requirement that certain health care professionals licensed in New York State (NYS) receive training on infection control and barrier precautions by July 1994 and every four years thereafter unless otherwise exempted.
