nrse4alongtime · Sep 4, 2005

Hello everyone..I work in a 50+ bed Level IV+ NICU in Upstate NY. My fellow nurses and I would like to send donations to the recieving NICU's from Katrina.Can anyone help me out. Thanks

I don't know the facility names but the initial NICU evacuees went to somewhere in Houston. Some may have also gone to Women's Hospital in Baton Rouge. We have a NICU in North Louisiana, but they did not send us any :imbar
