Yvette Williams graduated from Florida Gulf Coast University with a BS in education, then went back to school for nursing. She graduated from Florida Southwestern College with an ASN degree in December 2019. This past May, she graduated from the University of North Carolina in Greensboro with a BSN degree, and received CMSRN certification this past August. She has worked on a General-Surgery unit at Duke Regional Hospital in Durham, North Carolina, for almost three and a half years. During that time, she joined the Clinical Practice and Nurse Practice Councils. After a year as a member, she became the co-chair of the Nurse Practice Council. Within her first year working at Duke Regional, she applied for a yearlong fellowship on the significance of CHG bathing for patients in non-critical areas. From there, she began to develop an interest in infection prevention.
