N2  - AIMS: To explore registered nurses' experiences as disaster preparedness coordinators of hospital incident command groups' during a major incident. <br><br>DESIGN: A qualitative descriptive design using semi-structured interview. <br><br>METHODS: This was a qualitative study based on one focus group discussion and six individual follow-up interviews. Participants were registered nurses in their capacity as disaster preparedness coordinators with experience from Major Incident simulations and a real-life Major Incident. The interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysed using content analysis. The COREQ checklist was used for reporting the findings. <br><br>RESULTS: The analysis of data generated the main category: Expectations, previous experience and uncertainty affect hospital incident command group response during a Major Incident and three categories, (I) Gaining situational awareness (containing two subcategories), (II) Transitioning to management (containing three subcategories) and (III) Actions taken during uncertainty (containing two subcategories).<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
