]Hello, Illinois nurses. I am an Illinois registered nurse and, although not currently working in the nursing field, I am a state employee. I attended some Red Cross trainings this week and learned that there is a law in Illinois addressing nurses & other trained emergency workers being given time off to work on disasters rated "2" or higher. Does anyone out there know the specifics???? I had the impression that it's a mandate that's really more of a recommendation to a state employer. If anyone knows any facts about this (on websites or whatever) I'd appreciate hearing about them. I'd contact my human resources department about this, but prior experience has taught me to do my own homework---less headaches this way & usually nobody don't know nuthing about nuthing anyway! Thanks! KAHRN
