Disaster Nursing Supercourse

We are building a Nursing Supercourse, and we would like you to join. Our goal is to join nurses world wide for global health and prevention. Nurses form the backbone of any health care system. It is time to act globally and unite in promoting global health and prevention. This is going to be established by building the Nursing Supercourse. The Supercourse represents a network of over 65,000 academic faculty interested in global health and prevention. We collect the best PowerPoint lectures on prevention from the network and share these will millions world
wide. In that past few months we saw the need to develop something similar but for Nursing Academic Faculty. Our first step in this one thousand mile journey has been accomplished by building the

The world is a small village. Borders can never deter us from uniting for good whether we were in Middle East, Africa, America or in any part of the world. The World population is about 7.6 billion; a huge number but it starts with 1. We are very much interested in having you and your colleagues share with us your expertise and join our network.

There are 28 million nurses in the world, but with little networking and connection to disaster relief organizations. We plan to change this. We have developed a golden lecture of Nursing which is designed to provide initial training about disasters to Nursing faculty and students. We also are developing a set of lectures that can be included in any nursing curricula about nursing. What is most important is that we have about 40 nurses world wide who are our “champions” who will work with us to spread the word about the Nursing Supercourse. Please tell your friends in nursing about this, as we want to build this program over the course of the next year. You can find out more about this from Kawkab.shishani@gmail.com. We have wonderful collaborators including Richard Garfield a WHO Collaborating center director and Najeeb Shorbaji from WHO Geneva. We will be contacting those in the Supercourse separately who are identified from Nursing Schools.
