I've been at home on my couch for the past several days so plenty of time to surf and post on the OT.

In about 7 weeks, the days will start getting longer. Hang in there.

This needs to be changed. The EU voted to end it and I think other countries will follow their lead. Hopefully.

You can find many articles like above that explain. Duties of an infection control nurse can vary depending on the hospital.

I can wear regular clothes or scrubs for my job. I chose scrubs cause they are more comfortable.

Some of the stuff I do:

---Help with planning of new construction, making sure choices for new builds follow infection control standards of the hospitals
---Monitoring all positive cultures of patients in my assigned area of the hospital. I go through the chart to analyze and determine if a positive cx is a CLABSI(central line associate blood infection), CAUTI (catheter associated urinary tract infection), SSI (surgical site infection), VAE (ventilator associated event). If patients get these kinds of infection and they are determined to be hospital acquired...the hospital is not reimbursed by CMS. We are mandated by law to report a lot of this data to the CDC.
---Education of employees regarding infection control issues. We do lots of education to new employees and new residents(we are a teaching hospital).
---Routine inspections of all areas of the hospital to look for potential things DNV can ding us for regarding infection control issues
---Reporting certain STDs and other communicable diseases (ex: TB, pertussis, etc) to a mandated state database, including whether or not the patient was appropriately treated.
---Monitoring hand hygiene compliance in the organization.
---We assist with several different department hospital committees on various things(ex: making recommendations, etc)
---Assisting with any outbreaks/exposures in the organization


ETA: It's very interesting. Never a dull moment. Always something going on. Plus...you work with all departments of the hospital. And you will see all areas/departments of the organization. So you learn a lot more about how your organization runs.
