This study aims to evaluate the course of disaster nursing through assessing nursing students’ satisfaction, knowledge and skills gain and impact on practices by the Kirkpatrick’s evaluation model. Seventy undergraduate nursing students were surveyed. The study adopted the Kirkpatrick’s evaluation model which contains four levels.
