According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2025), "germs are a part of everyday life. Germs live in our air, soil, water and in and on our bodies. Some germs are helpful, others are harmful."
Infection control starts with simple everyday practices.
From hand hygiene and the proper use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to understanding how infections spread, small actions can make a significant difference in protecting ourselves, our colleagues, and the communities we serve.

NursesWeCare was founded in 2022 and will proudly celebrate its 4th birthday this year on April 5, 2026. The week of April 5-11, 2026 we also celebrate Occupational Health Nurse Week. Now what does an occupational health nurse do?
There are many different ways that workers’ health can be impacted by the workplace; occupational health nurses seek to provide care and health promotion programs to support workers in improving their health (World Health Organization, 2026). They also work to prevent injuries and illnesses from occurring, as well as helping to manage workplace health conditions with the other members of the occupational health team.
