New Orleans nurses speak out in regards to the storm.

When thousands fled within the face of Hurricane Katrina, nurses stayed at their posts in New Orleans hospitals to maintain their patients. Facing unattainable conditions, these professionals went without supplies, sleep, communications, and air-con as they overcame hindrances to avoid wasting lives. The nurses interviewed come from healthcare organizations including Charity Hospital, Tulane Medical Center, Ochsner Medical Center, and the Emergency Operations Center in Baton Rouge. They paint a stark picture of systemic screw ups with catastrophic effects. The authors, experts in nursing and disaster response, be offering analysis and proposals for healthcare institutions nationwide.
