Featured Projects

Project Firstline

Nurses are the nation's first line of defense against infectious diseases. That's why ANA partnered with the CDC to present Project Firstline, an interactive series of free online tools that give you the training and information you need about infection prevention and control (IPC). Comprehensive education includes best practices addressing COVID-19 and other pathogens, as well as evidence-based strategies to improve outcomes. Project Firstline resources are designed by nurses, for nurses to help you understand and confidently apply IPC principles regardless of previous training or background. Together, we can stop the spread.

COVID-19 Resource Center

In the midst of the pandemic, nurses were called upon and put years of education and training into action. When everyone else ran from the storm, nurses ran directly into the middle of it all. In these extraordinary times, the American Nurses Association is here for all nurses, because our life’s work is supporting your life’s work.
