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.
