Nurses Sent Where They’re Needed

Pat Guenther has big plans for nurses.

 

The Glenwood Springs resident is starting a nonprofit company, Nurses with a Purpose. She plans to send nurses around the world to help areas with inadequate medical care and rejuvenate the nursing community.

 

Nurses With a Purpose will provide an “opportunity to be locally involved in something that’s affecting people on the other side of the planet,” Guenther said.

 

Guenther returned from a trip to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, on Christmas day. She’d been scouting potential sites to send nurses. She met a boy infected with HIV. For the cost of 10 cents, medication could have been given to his mother during birth, she said. It would have reduced his risk of contracting the disease by 90 percent – if only someone had been there to administer it. She saw long lines of people waiting outside clinics for days to see a doctor.

 

Guenther said an ABC crew accompanied her to film a documentary about dysentery, but was turned away at the country’s border. She said Ethiopian government officials didn’t want to have poor health conditions in the country publicized.

 

Nurses with a Purpose also plans to send nurses to parts of the U.S. like New Orleans, which was left without adequate staff after Hurricane Katrina.

In the program, nurses would travel and work for one to four weeks. Nurses with a Purpose plans to send about 30 nurses to different sites in 2007 on a budget of approximately $500,000, but still needs additional funding, Guenther said. This would have the double benefit of providing additional health care where it is most needed and giving the nursing community a booster shot, Guenther said.
