Calling all Florida Nurses – Help needed in storm shelters
1,000 travel nurses are needed as volunteers in Florida’s emergency storm shelters after Hurricane Irma. Florida Gov. Rick Scott announced that there was a need for nurses before the storm hit last week. However, now that the storm is over the need is greater than ever. Florida had severe flooding in Jacksonville and the Keys were destroyed by Irma.
“Anybody that can come and help us do that, we appreciate it,” Scott said during an appearance on a national morning show. “We need 1,000 nurses, and hopefully we’ll get them.”
