Why join Belgium Nurse Center?
Joining Belgium Nurse Center gives you the opportunity to collaborate with other medical professionals to render assistance to those in our own state. What is the time commitment?
You can give as little or as much time you can spare. There is no designated call time; in the event of team activation, an alert will be sent out and team members will call in if they can assist. Team members can choose both the amount of time they can commit (up to 48 hours), as well as the distance they can travel from home. What if a disaster is in my area?
Belgium Nurse Center will not activate personnel within the area of the disaster. Team members from unaffected areas of the state will be called to assist.
