I’ve been reviewing my e-mail, even making the effort to get through the huge spam folder. Many readers have taken the opportunity to comment on the information I’ve posted and most are so very gracious; I am always thankful for that.
There are e-mails from nurses, a few readers who would like to sell a product, and one or two who are having technical issues. There are also those who seem to have simply stumbled upon the site but find it interesting, not to mention comments that because of language interpretation, are lost in translation.
Everyone is, of course, welcome to read The Preventionist; still I wouldn’t expect those who have no affiliation with Infection Prevention and Control to be even mildly interested in most of the topics posted. Ultimately, the purpose of The Preventionist is to review the essential elements of Infection Control and Prevention in long-term Care, with Long-term Care Nurses in mind.
Feel free to ask questions and thank you for your comments.

About the author
Hello, my name is Chris Walter. I am a Registered Nurse with experience in several nursing specialties including Surgery, Case Management, Legal Nurse Consulting, Community Health, and Infection Prevention and Control. I have a BSN and a Public Health Nursing Certificate (PHN) in the stateof California.
My hope is to facilitate the sharing of knowledge and resources with Health Care Workers who have an interest in the specialty of Infection Prevention and Control in Long-term Care. Please feel comfortable contacting me at icpreventionist@aol.com and share your comments with The Preventionist as well.
I consider myself a perpetual student, rather than an expert. My intent is to provide information based on recommendations from the masters of infection control and prevention such as;
• The Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (A.P.I.C.)
• The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
• State Department of Public Health
All information contained within The Preventionist site is strictly for informational purposes only. None of the statements on this site are to be considered a recommendation for treatment of any particular disease or health related condition.
