It is disheartening to hear of the thousands of lives lost in Pakistan from the recent large earth quake. And now there are huge numbers of people homeless; and winter is coming fast.
I visit the World Health web site regularly and yesterday there was a desperate call for help.
Food, water, blankets, shelter, and most of all health care workers.
They are desperate for many more doctors and public health specialist but no where did I read the words "nurse". Doctors may flock to the site to lend their assistance but they will be almost helpless without the support of nurses.
Are we invisible, still, that people don't think of nurses in the first breath of a call for help? I am sure we are in their thoughts, yet never seem to be immediately on the lips.
If you can, if you are in a position to help, even for a short time, why not contact the World Health Organization and find out how you, as a nurse, can help.
