Disaster Nursing

With the nursing care in Haiti and the previous emergency medical deployments around the world, has there been any thought or plan to place a thread on AllNurses for disaster preparedness. I am an ER RN and a volunteer firefighter, and am aware of the limit to my license out of the hospital, but would be interested in viewing information related to these incidents throughout the nation and the world. Is anyone else on the same page as me? Just want to know if there is any way to provide support in the nursing arena at the local and national/world level.

Thanks!

You should do some research on DMAT teams. If you have one locally, sign up. Disasters come in 2 flavors. Most commonly you end up with immediate casualties and the wounded needing help towards better health. The other flavor is radiation disasters. In these you may have immediate casualties, but need to treat lots of people on a long journey towards death. If that's for you, get into a DMAT team or maybe even start one in your area. They take turns being on call for disasters and if activated are well reimbursed.

There was a disaster subforum somewhere around here.

:up:Thanks for mentioning DMAT, I had never heard of those before it sounds interesting and right up my alley.
