How to Protect Yourself - Use and Re-Use of PPE webinar

 

How to Protect Yourself: 

Use and Re-Use of PPE

There is no issue that has caused greater concern for nurses related to the pandemic than the availability and use of PPE. This important on-demand webinar focuses on the current PPE guidelines and how to protect yourself.

150,000 nurses have registered for ANA's important PPE webinar we provided free to all nurses in March, 2020. This new webinar represents a critical and necessary update to this earlier webinar. Since that time, our knowledge of COVID-19 and the importance of strong PPE protection has continued to grow, so ANA is providing all nurses access to this free PPE webinar that emphasizes the most current information.

If you viewed our first PPE webinar, you will want to register and view this important update.  If you did not see the first webinar, it is even more important for you to educate yourself on this critical topic.

Watch anytime, anywhere.

ANA has partnered with the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC) to bring you this up-to-date program that will cover:

• Occupational health risks related to COVID-19
• COVID-19 modes of transmission as it is currently understood
• Isolation precautions and PPE selection and use for COVID-19
• Crisis standards of care related to PPE use during COVID-19
• Safe re-use of PPE, including respirators and isolation gowns

Nurses face ongoing challenges with understanding current guidelines on the use, re-use and decontamination of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).  Content provides the most current guidelines and what nurses can do to protect themselves from COVID-19.

Registration is required prior to viewing.
