In this program, we will coordinate with the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to develop a complete Infectious Disease Control Program and disseminate that information and training to nurses at all levels in affected areas.
Prior to filing, we joined the nation in witnessing the introduction of the Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever into the Dallas area. After that, we began to study the changes in protocols throughout Texas, and considered the alarming lack of training that most nurses currently have.

To date, we have traveled to Dallas and met with officials at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital, as well as some of the Emergency Response officials, and as a result of that, we have drafted plans for a program to connect with the CDC, WHO and DHS to train nurses at all levels as it pertains to existing contagions, and to get the word out to nurses in affected areas in the event of new outbreaks.
We are currently preparing another trip to Texas to interview healthcare workers and government officials about the lessons learned from Ebola, and the new protocols that have been put into place. Further, we are in the process of locating experienced educators on the best formats for delivering short, informative videos to get the word out to nurses on current contagions and new outbreaks. In addition, we are determining the best options for quickly getting the videos [as needed] to the nurses in affected areas.
In the future the Global Nursing Program will develop National Infectious Disease Control Audits that will allow for top-to-bottom audits of every aspect of nursing that relates to infectious disease control within a country. In so doing, gNp will share scientific and educational information with the respective country so as to bring them in line with global infectious disease control standards and protocols. We will also work with the CDC, WHO, International Red Cross, International Red Crescent, Seed Global Health, Doctors Without Borders, and other humanitarian healthcare organizations to bring qualified nurses to those countries to teach existing infectious disease control protocols, as needed. Also, gNp will assemble a logistical team that specializes in Transitional Government Nursing Assistance as it relates to infectious disease control. In the event of a sudden transition in leadership, gNp will work with the United Nations and the World Health Organization to provide guidance in setting up a complete infectious disease control infrastructure for the nurses within the country. Funding will come from the country itself and possibly from the UN.
