Session presented on Monday, September 19, 2016:
This project was an exploratory qualitative study to systematically identify relevant themes in the practice of disaster nursing. The aims of the project were to engage subject matter experts to develop a vision for the future of disaster nursing, to identify barriers to achieving that vision, and to synthesize their collective recommendations for nursing practice, education, policy, and research. The Call to Action includes a broad audience that includes nurses, employers, voluntary organizations, educators, policy makers, and researchers.
