This presentation will address the evolving scope of practice for nurses in public health emergency/disaster response situations. The presentation is based on the results of a survey on state differences and similarities of the authorities for nursing practice during public health emergency/disaster responses. It will also compare limitations on the scope of practice during such events. Finally, there will be a discussion of changes that could improve responses effectiveness for nurses.
