Preparing ward nurses for intensive care units during a state of emergency: an example from COVID-19 pandemic

Implications for practice and research ► Nurses who are assigned to intensive care units (ICUs) without adequate training due to a pandemic or any disaster need to be supported both in the learning process and emotionally. ► Training programmes and standards should be developed and tested with experimental studies in order to provide intensive care education in the most effective and fastest way in a state of emergency.
