Level IV Nursing Students Participate in a Mass Casualty Exercise
February 03, 2025
Three clinical sections of the Delgado Charity School of Nursing's Level IV students (accompanied by their instructors, Theresia Dickerson, Wendy Garretson and Dr. Kim Uddo) were able to participate in the Mass Casualty Exercise at Ochsner-Baptist hospital on January 29.
As New Orleans is preparing for the influx of people at the Super Bowl, the goal of this exercise was to facilitate Ochsner-Baptist’s preparation in the event of a mass casualty. Interdepartmental representatives, including Emergency Preparedness Specialists, E.D. nurses and educators, Infection Preventionist, Registration Specialists, Security and Safety Analyst worked together to run the drill. Our students were divided into groups representing the patients coming into the hospital and their family members.
The students were praised for their help in making this Mass Casualty Exercise a great success.
