Role of nurse during fire and disaster

Published

What role does the nurse play in your hospital during fire or disaster? THx

Specializes in AA&I, research,peds, radiation oncology.

I work in a clinic but I must have someone notify 911, make patients aware of the fire-calmly direct the ambulatory patients outside and away from the building, assist in transporting non-ambulatory pts outside, making sure all exam rooms are evacuated and closing fire doors behind me. Hopefully I never have to use it!!:angryfire
