What is an infectious disease RN?

Infectious Disease Registered Nurses (RNs) are specialized nurses who focus on the prevention, identification, treatment, and control of infectious diseases in patients. They work closely with physicians, infection control teams, and public health officials to monitor outbreaks and educate patients and staff about infection prevention practices. These nurses may work in hospitals, clinics, or public health settings, and are essential in managing the spread of diseases such as COVID-19, tuberculosis, and other contagious illnesses.
