Infection Control CE for Nurses
Mandatory infection control and barrier precautions training (New York and others).
Infection control CE covers standard and transmission-based precautions, PPE selection, hand hygiene, and bloodborne pathogen exposure response. New York's requirement is the longest-running and most detailed — a NYSED-approved course every four years covering 7 specific core elements.
Why states require it
Healthcare-associated infections remain a major source of preventable harm. State CE mandates ensure every nurse with patient contact periodically refreshes core infection prevention practices.
