Nurses are part of the Antimicrobial Stewardship Team
Active engagement of nurses in antimicrobial stewardship activities is long-overdue. We can all appreciate the nursing presence in management of antimicrobials in different clinical settings, however there is little to no evidence that supports nurses as antimicrobial stewards. This is partly due to barriers, and knowledge gaps that currently exist in nursing practice. We have created nursing resources to help address some of the knowledge gaps that currently exist.
