01:22The Professional Nurse
Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:
Communication skills: These are critical characteristics, especially speaking and listening.

01:08Obedience
According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation, obedience...
01:18Steps in Outbreak Investigation
In the ever-evolving field of public health, statistical analysis serves as a cornerstone for understanding and managing disease outbreaks. By leveraging various statistical tools, health professionals can predict potential outbreaks, analyze ongoing situations, and devise effective responses to mitigate impact. For that to happen, there are a few possible stages of the analysis:
01:15Nursing Implementation
Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

01:24Critical Thinking I
Critical thinking helps decision-making and allows nurses to recognize barriers to success and find solutions to possible issues. It helps to brainstorm and implement ideas to achieve goals. Critical thinking helps acknowledge and state workflow inefficiencies while improving management techniques. Nurses understand the value of critical thinking and look for fellow nurses with critical thinking skills to upgrade their professional standards. Critical thinking can advance a nurse's career with...
01:26Pharmaceutical Poisoning: Potential Scenarios
Pharmaceutical poisoning can occur through various channels, impacting an estimated 2 million hospitalized patients in the U.S. annually with serious adverse drug responses. These scenarios encompass both therapeutic uses, such as drug toxicity, where even standard dosages can lead to severe central nervous system depression, and non-therapeutic exposures, including accidental ingestion by children, and environmental and occupational exposures.Unintentional poisonings often involve exploratory...

Summary
This study evaluated a nurse-tailored competitive tabletop exercise (TTX) program for disaster preparedness. The program significantly improved nurses
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Disaster Management
- Public Health
Background:
- Global increase in disasters necessitates enhanced disaster response competencies for frontline nurses.
- Tabletop exercises (TTX) are low-resource, immersive training tools with potential for improving nurses' disaster preparedness.
- Systematic evaluations of nurse-centered TTX programs are scarce in China.
Purpose of the Study:
- To comprehensively evaluate the effectiveness of a nurse-tailored competitive TTX program.
- To utilize the Kirkpatrick model for a multi-level assessment of the TTX program's impact.
Main Methods:
- Sequential explanatory mixed-methods design.
- Implementation of a 270-minute TTX competition for 90 nurses across 30 healthcare institutions in Anhui Province.
- Quantitative data collection using validated scales (SCLS, SDS, NDEKS, EPQ) and qualitative data from semi-structured interviews with 10 purposefully selected nurses.
Main Results:
- Positive outcomes observed across all four Kirkpatrick levels.
- High nurse satisfaction (SCLS: 4.42±0.54) and program design recognition (SDS: 4.38±0.52).
- Significant improvements in nursing disaster emergency knowledge (NDEKS, p < 0.001) and positive behavioral tendencies (EPQ: 4.40±0.55).
- Tangible regional impact on disaster nursing development in Anhui Province by 2025, including increased public awareness activities and professional committee formations.
Conclusions:
- The nurse-tailored competitive TTX program effectively enhances disaster knowledge, core competencies, and interdisciplinary collaboration.
- The program demonstrates a significant regional impact on disaster nursing development.
- The integrated evaluation framework provides robust evidence for optimizing disaster nursing training and strengthening healthcare system resilience.
