Nurses Taking Care of Their Own: Katrina Nurses Fund

While many organizations such as the Red Cross and the Salvation Army are collecting funds to assist the Hurricane Katrina evacuees, we have learned that a large number of nurses have also been impacted by Katrina. In response to many requests for a way "for nurses to take care of their own", the American Nurses Foundation has created the Katrina Nurses Fund. One hundred percent (100%) of all funds donated to the American Nurses Foundation for this fund will be contributed to assist nurses in the states of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. Additionally funds will be provided to assist nurses opening their homes for families or evacuee nurses.
