Abstract
Traditional Nursing Programs are required to provide student instruction regarding disaster care. The Brigham Young University College of Nursing, in conjunction with campus emergency medical services (EMS), holds two large-scale mass casualty simulations each year. Nursing students work alongside EMS to provide initial care to the victims. After the mass casualty simulation, nursing students completed an anonymous survey evaluating their preparation and experience during the simulation. Students were also prompted to reflect on future implications of the exercise and give suggestions for simulation improvement. Nursing students felt the triage and communication skills they learned during this simulation will help them as future registered nurses. Interdisciplinary communication between nursing and EMS students presented a barrier to effective disaster response. Data gathered from this postsimulation survey will be used to improve future nursing student preparation and simulation participation. [J Nurs Educ. 2022;61(1):50-52.].
