Oh, man. Just got an email begging for nurses to come to Texas for 'disaster relief' .. but so far, I'd need to have a Texas RN license. If they lift the restrictions or allow non-Texas license holders to go, I'm so on board. (I mean I have an RN license in like 12 other states, but not Texas.)

How far are you from Houston

I'm about 4 hours from Houston, luckily. It's pretty much done here.. Just osme rain, I saw a whole ONE overturned trash can. No branches or anything.

Ike was kinda like a 15 years old boy.. Strong & tough to start, but finished & fizzled quickly.
p.s. Most of those are accurate anywhere outside the major cities..

everything *does* go better with Ranch dressing :-)

you would think in disaster relife, things like where you are registered really don't matter. I mean anatomy and physiology are the same no matter where you go in the world. Medicine doesn't really change only policies and procedures do, and in a disaster, as long as you are folling universal precautions, and basic common sense (yes I know not everyone has that) they would take all the help they can get.

I understand what you mean. A nurse in the USA takes their board exam which is a national exam, but each state has their own board of professional licensing which controls their state licensing procedures. Some states require extensive background checks and fingerprints, and outlandish fees; others -if you have $50 and a license from another state, you're in. But anyway, yes often in these situations they waive the usual requirements and allow for temporary permits to get nurses from other states in the door and working quickly.

You might contact Red Cross and FEMA to see what restrictions apply when an area is declared a federal disaster area.

Good luck, and blessings on your work
