After completing my degree in nursing and starting work in an emergency department, I was constantly challenged to gain more and better knowledge in several domains. The completion of Postgraduate in Emergency and Trauma as well as the Postgraduate Specialization Degree in Medical-Surgical Nursing contributed to an improvement in the care of critically ill patients. Achieving my Master in Gerontology enhanced my capacities in interacting with the majority of the population I cared for in my work context, the elderly. However, during those 10 years in that challenging context, difficulties in infection prevention and control but also ensuring patients and healthcare workers safety, took me to want to contribute to the resolution of these problems. Joining the PhD in Occupational Safety and Health is a hard attempt to contribute to increasing knowledge on Infection Prevention and Control strategies in the context of antimicrobial resistance.
