In response to the pandemic, opportunities to learn about timely topics are now widely available at no cost. On May 18, the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing will begin a two-week course for nurses on how to provide high quality care during a time of low resources and high uncertainty. Just in time for the planned restart of elective surgeries, a prerecorded webinar on infection prevention in ambulatory surgery centers is now available on the Joint Commission website. Additionally, the National Council of State Boards of Nursing is offering four COVID-19-related courses for health professionals. The courses are self-paced and address nursing care; epidemiology, modes of transmission and personal protective equipment; law and ethics; and media coverage and misinformation about the virus. Some of the courses convey continuing education credits.
