Prep-Course (On-Demand) Details

Disasters are unpredictable events that can strike anytime, anywhere, leaving behind destruction, chaos, and a desperate need for coordinated efforts.
In Healthcare, disasters are categorized as internal—those occurring within the facility, such as fires or radiation leaks—or external, like large-scale accidents that flood emergency departments with casualties.

Have you ever thought about what it means to remain calm and help others during a disaster? 

That is what our Community Nursing Disaster and Emergency Response Planning course is designed to help you prepare for. We will show you how to deal with natural disasters such as hurricanes and handle emergencies like chemical spills. You will learn to think quickly and take control when things get chaotic. You will gain knowledge about disaster preparedness, response, and recovery because communities need people like you to be heroes when the unexpected occurs. 

Regardless of your level of nursing experience, this training will enable you to truly make a difference in life-threatening situations. Consider it as your essential toolkit for survival—rather than having items like duct tape and flashlights, you will possess the knowledge and skills needed to save lives and restore order in chaotic situations. 

By the end of the course, you will be able to: 

1. Understand disaster preparedness and emergency planning well.
2. Learn to make fast decisions when under pressure.
3. Coordinate with teams to handle big emergencies.
4. Offer caring support to people and communities facing difficult situations.
5. Support public health and safety while helping communities recover from disasters.

Here is what you will need: 
1. A strong desire to assist others during critical times. 
2. Fundamental nursing knowledge (no need to stress, we’ll expand on it!). 
3. Having a computer to use for online resources and activities is important. 
4. A dedication to learning and practicing skills for responding to emergencies.
