The Survival Nurse

Running an Emergency Nursing Station Under Adverse Conditions

by Ragnar Benson

   Doctors or medically trained survivors can patch up a patient after an injury or accident, but it is the survival nurse who provides extended long-term care as well as the dozens of related activities that support the healing process under less-than-ideal conditions. This tackles the many issues that every serious survival nursing program must face. You will learn the ins and outs of the “big five” considerations of survival nursing; the must-have supplies to keep in stock and how to obtain them; tricks for handling the mountains of laundry generated by a nursing station; how to maintain a low profile with your survival nursing station and why it’s important; how to sew up wounds, pull teeth, deliver babies and provide physical therapy under primitive conditions; and more.
