Working/Volunteering after this Hurricane

Nurses General Nursing

Was wondering do hospitals use more travel RN/NP after something like the Hurricane right now in effected areas?

Not trying to be an opportunist, but I am a traveler who can work, but has been on vacation for a bit and it may be a way to help.

I would think that when it's safe for the patients to go back, the nurses will also return.

If there's an agency you work with or have worked with, maybe they could advise you?

The Red Cross needs nurses in the shelters. Your LOCAL Red Cross can give you info.

I can say from personal experience after Harvey last year, we did not have an increased need for nurses/travelers in my hospital. However as MMJ pointed out, there were many local organizations that did.
