President's Message
   
  To My Fellow Infection Control Preventionist!

Two thousand and ten has come and gone and here we are in 2011 – continuing what we love to do, preventing the spread of infection in multiple settings through our continued efforts in education, collaboration, and active involvement in activities where our voices need to be heard. Northern New Jersey APIC remains strong in helping to shape not only our profession but also our infection control practices that are rooted in evidence-based practices.

Our challenges are daunting as we face not only our day-to-day work as ICPs but also as we accommodate extra responsibilities that come our way. Additionally, there are still the mandated infections data and statistics reporting and the regulatory- related activities that we continue to see more and more that need to be done! NNJ APIC hopefully, is here to support and be responsive to the needs of our members as we all work together to make a difference on the things that we do everyday.


With that, I welcome you all to NNJ APIC and I am honored to serve as your president for 2011. Moving forward, I am counting on everyone’s talents, expertise, passion and commitment as we join forces to make the APIC difference!

Sincerely,


Norma Abat Atienza, BSN, MPA, RN, CIC, CPHQ
2011 NNJ APIC President
