Abstract: This study is to summarize the nursing management experiences and related works among the nursing medical team in assisting Wuhan Taikang Tongji COVID-19 specialized hospital during the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic. There were mainly six aspects involved in daily practice: 1) preparatory arrangement: include personnel group assignment, training, supply preparation, reconstruction of the unit layout; 2) placement management: include group scheduling, placement setup; 3) procedure and system management: include setting up pre-regulatory systems and rules, collaborative process between areas, and daily quality control; 4) quality management of clinical nursing care; 5) humanity care management; and 6) infection control management: include the safety and comfort in wearing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), formulation of disinfection plan for each shift, action plans for sudden event prevention and emergency coping. Because of the adequate preparation, practical administrative procedures, along with high work efficiency and quality clinical nursing care demonstrated by the nursing team, we have reached high patient satisfaction, patient “zero death”, and medical staff “zero contraction” record. Theses practical experiences of first-line nursing management can provide references for the nursing management of public health events such as the treatment of sudden infectious diseases in the future.
