Are you a licensed Health Care Professional? Get prepared now to help people in disaster shelters.
We need volunteers who can work in emergency shelters to help assess people’s health and provide hands on care in alignment with their professional licensure (RN and LPN/LVN). We also need volunteers who can provide care as delegated by a licensed Nurse in shelters. This could include assisting with activities of daily living, personal assistance services providing health education and helping to replace medications, durable medical equipment, or consumable supplies.
Daily observation and health screening for COVID-19 like illness among shelter residents may also be required. We have both associate and supervisory level opportunities available. If you are an RN, LPN, LVN, APRN, NP, EMT, Paramedic, MD/DO or PA with an active, current, and unencumbered license, there is a role for you. Ancillary roles are available locally for certified Nursing Assistants, Certified Home Health Aides, Student Nurses, and Medical Students. RNs supervise all clinical tasks.
