Silver Springs, Maryland–(ENEWSPF)–January 19, 2010. The American Nurses Association (ANA) has been contacted by the International Medical Corps to assist in recruiting nurse volunteers to work in a hospital on the border of Haiti and the Dominican Republic in the following specialties:
- Perioperative Services
- Post-Anesthesia/Recovery
- Care of post-operative surgical patients
Nurses interested in participating in this mission should send an e-mail to ANA. Please be advised that volunteer responders should consider the following:
