abstract="US nurses are not prepared for the altered conditions of the disaster environment, nor has the context of providing disaster nursing care been a focus of disaster research. Using an existential phenomenologic approach, US nurses described the &quot;not normal&quot; conditions of the disaster environment they experienced as physically and emotionally challenging, because of the reduced infrastructural capabilities, unfamiliar patient populations, and reliance on low-technology nursing with insufficient staff and supplies. Preparation for the reduced resources of the disaster environment should be integrated into current nursing education, clinical practice, and disaster preparedness policy.<br><br>Copyright © 2016 Elsevier Inc.
