Integrating disaster preparedness and response training into the BSN curriculum

Abstract

The AACN and ANA as well as other nursing organizations recognize that Disaster Preparedness and Response is a part of nursing practice. Unfortunately schools of nursing are not trained or equipped for this type of training. Two Texas University schools of nursing have implemented programs to correct this.
