The Registered Nurse Response Network (RNRN), a disaster-relief project of the California Nurses Foundation and National Nurses United,is sending a team of volunteer nurses to Tucson, Arizona, Feb. 15 through Feb. 17, to assist in providing basic medical support to migrants and asylum seekers. National Nurses United (NNU) is concerned that many of these migrants, including families and unaccompanied children, need medical care after their long and arduous journey and detention in federal facilities that have come under intense scrutiny following the deaths of two children.
