The author reflects on the role nurses play during any medical emergency and their recent role in the Haiti earthquake relief effort. The author recalls the efforts of nurses during Hurricane Katrina. The hospitals in Haiti are short of medical supplies and the American Red Cross has not deployed any medical team there. The author urges one to inquire with the human resource staff about the organization's volunteer service in U.S. and provide cover for the nurses traveling to Haiti.
