The document discusses the role of new graduate nurses in disasters. It first defines key disaster-related terms and outlines disaster education received by nurses. It then examines the potential roles for new graduate nurses both out of hospital and in hospital during a disaster. In hospital roles may include triage, decontamination, and helping hospitals accommodate surge capacity through strategies to expand the workforce. The document suggests more research is needed due to a lack of literature on the specific roles of new graduates during disasters.
