Giving Back
Finding Inspiration in Every Turn
Community Preparedness seeks volunteers to serve in emergencies.
The opportunities for all nurses are practically endless! From caring for clients in shelters and clinics, manning a telephone triage line, providing client education and administering medications at a mass dispensing site, to caring for pets and their owners in co-located shelters, nurse volunteers are invaluable to the health and safety of Louisiana communities.
