Conversation with Alisha Sheffield, MSN, RN, AL-CIP, CIC and Lauren Musil, BSN, RN

Welcome back to Voice for Infection Prevention! Today’s episode is a little different from the conversations we usually have, and I’m really excited to share it with you. Instead of focusing on one individual career journey, this episode is centered on a practical resource and a broader effort to support Infection Preventionists across the country.

I’m joined by Alisha Sheffield and Lauren Musil, two Infection Preventionists from Nebraska Medicine whose work has expanded beyond the traditional hospital-based IP role into grant-funded education, tool development, and resource support designed specifically for Infection Prevention professionals — especially those working in smaller, under-resourced, or more isolated settings.

In this conversation, we talk about how their work evolved out of the pandemic, what they’ve learned about the needs of today’s Infection Prevention workforce, and how their team has built tools and educational resources to help bridge some very real gaps in onboarding, training, and day-to-day support. This is a really valuable discussion for anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed by the scope of Infection Prevention, struggled to find practical guidance, or wondered how we can better support both new and experienced IPs in the field.

If you’re interested in the future of Infection Prevention education, accessible resources, and the kinds of innovation that can help strengthen the profession as a whole, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.

Let’s dive in.
