Millionaire Nurses and Disaster Response/Giving-Now Is The Time To Step Up!

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

One of the most important tenets or “Millionaire Nurse Mindsets” as I call them involve giving.  This means giving on a routine basis to your church, and or other worthwhile charities.

However, there are times when you just have to go above and beyond your planned giving.  This is the reason I recommend planning your spending, so you have a margin for needs/gifts that come out of the blue.  This may be a neighborhood child selling something to raise money for school, or a loss of a home to a fire or flood in town.

This disaster in Haiti qualifies on all fronts as a huge need that we all need to respond.  I will be giving to the Salvation Army on-line, and I challenge all Millionaire Nurses and wannabe’s to do something similar.

Regardless of the political situation in Haiti, these are women, children, elderly who need the basics just to survive.

Doctors without borders is another great way to help.

For actual volunteer opportunities for nurses, check out this site at The American Nursing Association for more links to volunteer organizations.

So take a few minutes to say a  prayer for these people, and give to the organization of your choice.

That’s what “Millionaire Nurses” do!
