(firmenpresse) - MUNDELEIN, IL -- (Marketwire) -- 10/17/11 -- As flu season starts to send more patients to hospitals, preventing the spread of further infection is top of mind for healthcare professionals around the country. To help reduce the spread of infection by sharing important information and training, Medline Industries, Inc. is providing 20 free courses for both Certified Nursing Assistants and Registered Nurses beginning this week -- International Infection Prevention Week -- through its online education and training community, Medline University ().
Courses are free and open to all healthcare professionals. Course topics include teaching proper aseptic and hand hygiene techniques, all at basic, easy-to-understand levels. The courses count towards state requirements for continuing education, as well as provide valuable information to aid healthcare workers in their goals to reduce hospital-acquired infections. RNs can earn more than 17 CE credits from these infection prevention courses. Course participants will also receive a code that entitles them to a discount on an order from Medline's consumer website, .
