How will you get there and who are you going with? Are there groups taking RN's and other clinicians down there? Anyone know of anything? I know the military is going, a friend of mine with a small plane is going.... anyone else. I wonder.

This rumor was spread on twitter. Sorry to say, but it is a hoax. http://edition.cnn.com/2010/TECH/01/14/twitter.hoax.haiti/

I am currently on the short list to head out in the next 7-10 days. I am an LVN with 1 year experience in Med Surg and Peds. I went thru Angel Staffing as they seem to be the company thats organizing it here in South Texas.
I hope this helps!

If anyone is interested in going to Haiti, here are a couple of links for paid events:
Fastaff: http://www.fastaff.com/
Angel Staffing: http://www.angelstaffing.net
International medical relief is another organization, but a nominal donation is required if you go, for transportation and supplies. http://www.imrhq.org/
I have applied to both angel and fastaff. I am in-between travel assignments at this time and would love to go help. I would definitely volunteer to go with IMF if they were to provide transportation to Haiti. Hopefully, I get the opportunity to go, I feel so helpless since I have the time. For anyone else wishing to go, hopefully we get the opportunity!!!

This may be a useful article for those interested in going to Haiti and have limited disaster experience, " Preparing Nurses to Respond to Disasters: Training Opportunities" http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/579888_7
