Clinical nurse specialists and nurse practitioners: complementary roles for infectious disease and infection control
Abstract
Background: The escalation of infectious diseases worldwide heralds an unprecedented need for nurses with advanced practice graduate preparation.
Objective: To describe how a graduate program prepares clinical nurse specialists and nurse practitioners in infectious diseases or infection control to provide distinct yet complementary care for patients with contagious disease and potentially antimicrobial-resistant infections.
Results: The University of Washington School of Nursing launched a new master of nursing program for infectious disease and infection control to reduce the threat of infectious diseases and multiple-resistant organisms.
