ILLINOIS NURSES ASSOCIATION
SUPPORTS HAITIAN RELIEF EFFORT
Illinois Nurses Association (INA) encourages anyone interested in becoming a first responder to register with ANA (see below). If you are unable to participate in a mission to Haiti, we encourage you to make a donation to the relief effort.
The following is a sampling of legitimate relief charities where donations can be made directly:
The American Nurses Association (ANA) has received a request from the International Medical Corps www.imcworldwide.org to assist in recruiting registered nurses who specialize in:
- Operating Room
- Post Anesthesia/Recovery
- Care of post-operative surgical patients
The deployment mission is for a hospital that is understaffed on the border of Haiti and the Dominican Republic. At this time, there is no information on deployment date or length of deployment. Conditions are likely to be VERY austere. Responders need to be physically fit and able to manage themselves in such an environment.
If you are interested in being considered for this mission, please send an email to Cheryl Peterson at cheryl.peterson@ana.org. Provide the following information in the email: Name, Credentials, Contact information, State license information, Past disaster response experience.
