Disaster Preparedness for Student Nurses
Disaster nursing is the adaptation of nursing skills
and knowledge to meet the medical and nursing needs of disaster victims.
Unlike emergency nursing, which provides care to individual patients with acute injuries or life threatening illness, disaster nursing involves responding to natural or man-made events that affect a significant portion of the community and often involve large numbers of casualties and property damage.
