PROJECT FIRSTLINE: INFECTION PREVENTION AND CONTROL

Durham, NC
The Central Carolina Black Nurses Council, Inc.

Nurses are the nation’s first line of defense against infectious diseases such as COVID-19. That’s why CCBNC has partnered with American Nurses Association (ANA) and Center for Disease Control (CDC) to present Project Firstline, an interactive series of free online tools that give CCBNC members and area nurses the training and information they need to know about infection prevention and control (IPC). Comprehensive education includes best practices addressing COVID-19 and other pathogens, as well as evidence-based strategies to improve outcomes.

Project Firstline resources are designed to help nurses to understand and confidently apply IPC principles regardless of previous training or background. New courses will be added as information advances so you can stay prepared with the latest knowledge. Together, we can stop the spread.
