Suggestions for ways an unemployed new grad nurse can volunteer medical services to help out during the Covid-19?

Updated:   Published

I graduated about four months ago and still don't have a job. I'm feel so pathetic/helpless though having a license and not being of any help with the disease. Does anyone know of ways a licensed nurse can volunteer services during the pandemic? (Other than social distancing)

Thanks!

New York needs you right now, Cuomo has made it easy for nurses from any state to come here, you don't need a NY license, get in touch with NYSED and see what they can do, I believe accommodation can be arranged too.

When other states get bad, we will return the favou

Someone told me you would still need a BSN to apply for those jobs.

I did view a few ads for NYC hospitald and they all required a BSN

New York State is looking for nurses to help with COVID-19, regardless of BSN or not, and completely unrelated/separate from hospital job postings. The form to volunteer (it's paid, so maybe that's not technically volunteering) is here: https://apps.health.ny.gov/pubpal/builder/survey/retired-health-professional
