During the Covid-19 pandemic, nurses who served as frontline healthcare providers are experiencing issues with extreme workload demand and under-provision of protective resources. This study aims to understand nurse readiness for the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia. The study uses a qualitative phenomenology approach with purposive sampling. Participants were recruited from the regional hospital in East Java, Indonesia. The criteria of participants were nurses who worked face-to-face with Covid-19 patients from various wards. The total sample size is 20 participants. In-depth interviews were conducted to gather the data, which was analyzed using Colaizzi’s phenomenological method. Five themes emerged: (1) fear of getting infected; (2) PPE adequacy supply; (3) unclear patient distribution flow; (4) nurse supporting ecosystem; (5) education and training in infectious diseases. The evaluation of nurses’ readiness concerned their knowledge, the supply of safety equipment, and support from various ecosystems. Nurses were concerned about various elements including catching the disease themselves, adjusting to the environment and new work procedures, physical discomfort due to special protective equipment, witnessing the suffering and death of patients, and long-term separation from family members. They need an integrated support system to help them fighting Covid-19. Attention from fellow nurses who help each other in crises, family support, and institution support are the support systems that determine the readiness of nurses.   Keywords: covid-19, nurse readiness, pandemic, qualitative study

The No Slum City Program is a government response in dealing with slum problems that exist throughout Indonesia, this program is sourced from the center which will be directly included in the RPJM in areas that are declared slum. but at the implementation stage there are obstacles, especially the commitment of the community that is still lacking in terms of reducing the slums that occur in the community itself. The problem under study is a description of the Implementation of Social Policy through the Kumpak City Program in the City of Palangka Raya. This study uses a causal method supported by primer data in the form of in-depth interviews and observations as well as secondary data in the form of document review. From the results of this research, it was shown that the implementation of the Social Policy through the No-Slum City Program (KOTAKU) in the City of Palangka Raya had not been effective. This is based on the lack of socialization, inconsistency of the implementor, and not maximally utilizing the facilities and infrastructure that have been given and the lack of community commitment to achieve the objectives of the KotaKu Program. It is therefore recommended that the government make the community a commitment to the program, and it is hoped that the socialization should be directly in the community, not through the BKM that has been made because this is not effective if it is seen from the commitment of the community.
