M.S. Nursing - Infection Prevention and Control - American Sentinel University
The issue of patient safety, including infection control and prevention, has been at the forefront of healthcare for a decade. In fact, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that approximately two million patients acquire infections when they are hospitalized, resulting in 44,000 - 98,000 deaths at a cost of $17 billion - $29 billion. Patient safety, quality control for hospital-acquired infections, and the growing threat of epidemics and pandemics are all indicators that more and more healthcare systems will need to hire nurses trained in infection control and prevention. American Sentinel's master's degree in nursing with a specialization in infection prevention and control can provide entry into this important emerging field. American Sentinel's online MSN degree programs were developed using guidelines from The Certification Board for Infection Control and Epidemiology and the Quality and Safety Education for Nurses Guidelines sponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
