Graduates of baccalaureate nursing programs are expected to demonstrate basic competency in responding to emergencies, including those related to emergency preparedness and disaster response. Faculty find it challenging to provide learning experiences that enable students to use appropriate assessment, clinical judgment, and decision making skills during disaster, mass casualty, and other emergency situations. This article describes a partnership between a school of nursing and a university health service to form a Medical Reserve Corps. The partnership resulted in unique and diverse learning experiences for nursing students in collaboration with volunteers from other professional disciplines and laypeople. The Medical Reserve Corps provides opportunities for students to experience emergency preparedness and disaster responses firsthand and to develop competencies required for generalist nursing practice.
本科护理专业的毕业生应具备应对紧急情况的基本能力，包括与应急准备和灾害应对相关的能力。教师发现，为学生提供学习经验以使其能够在灾害、大规模伤亡和其他紧急情况下使用适当的评估、临床判断和决策技能具有挑战性。本文描述了护理学校与大学健康服务机构之间的合作关系，成立了医疗预备队。这种合作关系为护理学生提供了独特而多样化的学习体验，与来自其他专业领域和非专业人士的志愿者合作。医疗预备队为学生提供了直接体验应急准备和灾害应对的机会，并发展了通科护理实践所需的能力。
