I am Uoiea, a tired student but still passionate about Nursing. I am particularly interested in the works of public health nurses as I believe that their work is as much important as those who are in hospitals. From the course guide descriptions, I expect that N-110 will help me gain more knowledge on another important field of public health nursing - disaster management. I am expecting to learn about the strategies pertinent to disaster risk reduction and management across all phases of the disaster continuum. Moreover, it would be very good to tackle the specific roles, functions, and competencies required of nurses in diverse disaster settings. 

The personal goals that I have for this course are closely matched with the objectives of the course. The most important being - to develop personal skills on practical competencies in planning for disaster prevention and mitigation. In addition, a contributing goal would be to master master appropriate nursing interventions for individuals, families, vulnerable groups, and communities during disaster response and to provide supportive care during the recovery and rehabilitation phases.
