Abstract:
Millions of people are killed annually in disasters, and even more are injured, displaced, and in need of emergency assistance. Communities continue to need nurses who can respond effectively during times of disaster. A one-credit course was developed to provide a collaborative and engaging approach to prepare students for disaster and mass casualty situations. Student evaluation responses regarding all segments of the course indicate satisfaction and quality learning. The course prepared and qualified students to volunteer for a community service organization and provide community-based care.
