Nurses Issue Urgent Appeal to Public to Support Nurse Relief Effort in Haiti
In: Uncategorized
27 Jan 2010More than 12,000 registered nurses from across the U.S. have responded to the call by the nation’s largest organization of registered nurses for volunteers to provide assistance to residents of earthquake devastated Haiti —leading the RNs to now issue an urgent appeal for the public to support these efforts with donations of funds to support travel costs and medical supplies on their upcoming emergency nursing mission.
Details are still being worked out, but those able to support the efforts of these nurses can get involved via:
• www.NationalNursesUnited.org to sign up to volunteer or donate
• @NationalNurses on twitter or by following: #haitiRN
• Call the RNRN hotline: 1-800-578-8225
• Support the RNRN/NNU disaster relief effort in Haiti by sending checks c/o California Nurses Foundation, 2000 Franklin St., Oakland, CA 94612. Charitable contributions will be used to pay for travel/related costs and medical supplies for volunteer RNs on their emergency nursing mission in Haiti.
RNRN is affiliated with National Nurses United, AFL-CIO, the national union and professional association for registered nurses.
