Last month, graduate nursing students at Penn Nursing took part in a high-intensity mass casualty simulation, responding to volunteers injured in a mock explosion.

Designed in collaboration with Penn Medicine, the School of Social Policy, and the Division of Public Safety, this training reflects national shifts in nursing education standards from the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN), emphasizing disaster preparedness, population health, and crisis response.

“Scenarios like this help students think on their feet,” said MPN student Emily MacDaniel. Faculty members emphasized the value of real-world training and interdisciplinary learning in preparing nurses for community-based care.
