The American Academy of Nursing asserts in "Expanding Nursing's Role in Responding to Global Pandemics" that nurses are prepared for leadership roles in policy decisions of health systems and government agencies and can prepare for, identify, respond to, and direct recovery efforts for global pandemics that require an informed, internationally coordinated response. In other words, nurses are (and have always been) ideally qualified to cope with the long-term crises of a pandemic, and their presence on the front lines is one of our most effective disease-fighting strategies. Nurses are suited for this job since they already have expertise dealing closely with patients. By drawing on that experience and rapidly analysing a patient's state, infection transmission may (and frequently is) substantially reduced.
