Financial Assistance for Nurses in Need

Posted by Karen A. Benson, Ph.D., MS, MN, RN | Published: April 13, 2010

“A Nurse in Need…”  In these tough economic times, there is a resource that nurses can turn to for help.

Nurses House is a nurse-managed, non-profit organization dedicated to helping registered nurses in need.  The organization offers short-term financial assistance to nurses in need as a result of illness, injury, or disability.  Funds are available to pay for basics such as food, a car payment, or health insurance.  The Washington State Nurses Association (WSNA) is one of the supporters of Nurses House.

For information about applying for help, go to: http://nurseshouse.org/apply_for_help.html or contact WSNA at 206-575-7979 if you need assistance in obtaining the application information.
