NURSES NEEDED

This opportunity for nurses just came across my desk. I do not know anything about the organization but lift it up for you who are interested to check out. Bayada is looking for experienced registered nurses to travel to Haiti for a minimum of four weeks to assist with relief efforts there. Bayada will cover the cost of all travel, living expenses, and inoculations. Many of the supplies you will need in Haiti will also be provided. Be aware that this is a volunteer effort, and you will not be paid for your time. Even if you are not an RN, you can help by mentioning our relief effort to any nurses you know. All experienced RNs are welcome to apply. Contact Employee Relations Specialist Cheryl Kendra with any questions you may have or call 401-272-3375.
