To exchange the knowledge and experience of disaster nursing with other counterparts around the world, Taiwan Nurses Association (TWNA) joined the World Society of Disaster Nursing (WSDN) in 2015, which gave the association an opportunity to host the 7th International Nursing Conference of World Society of Disaster Nursing (7th WSDN Conference) with the theme “Nurses Together for Global Challenges: Innovation, Integration & Illustration: Building Back Better in Disaster Nursing”, held on October 20-21, 2022 in Taipei, Taiwan in a hybrid format. There were about 430 colleagues from 9 countries registered to attend and 230 abstracts were accepted for presentation. It was a greatest honor that many of high profile nurse leaders attended and shared their expertise of disaster nursing.
