So all the guilt was for naught. The doctor requests me because I have battlefield triage experience. We've worked together many times before. I'm a sucker for Dr. Mac, he knows I can't say no to him.
Got this today.
CRISIS STAFFING FOR DISASTER RELIEF EFFORT IN HAITI
DWB is now pre-staffing for an earthquake disaster relief effort on the island of Haiti. Any active licensed Registered Nurses from Trauma Units Team Two and Team One are needed for alternative, low acuity medical sites. Possible deployment order could happen at any time.
Details of this assignment include:
· Crisis pay rates of $60/hour straight time, $90/hour overtime
· 18-hour shifts, minimum 2-week commitment
· All RNs must have a valid United States passport for this assignment
· Any state licensure will be accepted
· Must have current CPR or BLS
· Availability must be immediate, travel required within 24-hours notice
· Base camp environment: expect tent living with MRE meals provided
Military guard one: one provided
· Department of Health & Human Services to provide military transport out of San Antonio
Barbra, Dr. Mac requested you with his first responders. As you know it is not required so I leave that up to you. Have already spoken with Paul at Vandy and secured your leave if you choose to accept.
Can have you on a flight to San Antonio Tuesday morning. Deployment is still unknown. Understand if you choose to wait and see if they need the 2nd or your regular team, but had to ask since he asked specifically for you.
Call me at home.
Hey, look at it this way its a great way to loose those five pounds I gained over the holidays. I will take my laptop and my sister has offered me her AT&T satellite chip,or plug-in or whatever it is. Just have to find ways to charge my battery. That's where staying on the good side of my military guard will come in. Leaving for Texas on Tuesday. Everyone take care. I will try to keep in touch when I can. If I survive this experience I may end up divorced. Husband is NOT HAPPY.
Anyway I still have the weekend.
