The Washington State Nurses Association is committed
to increasing the preparedness of nurses to provide nursing care during periods
of disaster or other emergencies. Additionally, we are engaged in examining various
policy questions concerning the delivery of care under altered and suboptimal conditions.
Scope of practice, legal and regulatory implications, as well as the registration,
mobilization and deployment of nurse responders during emergencies are some of the
areas requiring immediate attention and focus. Promoting individual preparedness
is also a top priority of the association.
The Washington State Nurses Association Professional Nursing and Health Care Council convened a new committee a year ago to identify and focus on the many issues surrounding disaster response and emergency preparedness. In an effort to understand the level of awareness and needs of nurses, WSNA would like your participation in the following survey. Your answers will help to guide the Disaster & Emergency Preparedness Committee in their work.
