Volunteer Nurse Opportunities

[lab211]

I am retiring in a few months. I would like to give back to the community. Has anyone done volunteer RN work or knows of retirees that have? I would appreciate any leads or advise.

I've done volunteer work through Public Health dept. In my state they have medical reserve corps, which help during disasters but also things like flu shot drive. I would look to see if your state has something like that (state department or county public health site). I would also check out Americorps. If they have a public health corps in your area, you could work part time. It's barely any pay so it will feel like volunteer work LOL

Concur with The Medical Reserve Corps  "a national network of more than 300,000 volunteers, organized locally to improve the health and safety of their communities" being a good fit for you. I've taken their training.

Americorps Healthy Futures and Public Health or Seniors RSVP might be of interest.

American Red Cross  has  Volunteer options.    Thanks for wanting to help our communities.
