INFECTION CONTROL:

In an effort to minimize the risk of possible infection, Nor-Lea Hospital District requires its staff to undergo the administration of certain vaccines (Flu Vaccine) and the use of preventative equipment.

All staff  are required to provide proof of immunity to: Varicella; Measles, Mumps, Rubella; and Hepatitis B

Hand hygiene is a must, not a suggestion. You must use soap and water or alcohol based hand gel before you touch a patient, after you touch a patient, in between patients, and before putting gloves on and after taking gloves off. Gloves do not take the place of hand hygiene. You must use soap and water when your hands are visibly soiled or when taking care of patient that is suspected or confirmed to have C.Difficile.
