“Disasters strike at any time. They can be predicted, or without warning, large-scale or local, extreme or limited. Registered nurses are considered essential responders, and will be there when called upon. But unresolved issues of legal, ethical, and professional considerations of disaster medical response remain a challenge, and could hamper the ability of nurses to respond.
