Ravenflow, the leader in visual requirements definition software, today announced that it had made a substantial donation to the California Nurses Association to support immediate relief work in Haiti.

“Our hearts go out to the people of Haiti,” said Susan Boers, president and CEO of Ravenflow. “We look to support our local community to help make a difference. With the efforts of Oakland’s National Nurses United, we have decided to support the California Nurses Association because we admire and share the same values: the ability to move quickly and decisively to address clients’ needs.”

The Registered Nurse Response Network (RNRN) is a national network of direct-care RNs that coordinates sending volunteer RNs to disaster-stricken areas wherever and whenever they are needed most. The California Nurses Foundation, in conjunction with the National Nurses United, and the California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee, is building a network of RN volunteers for deployment to Haiti following the devastating earthquake that took place on Jan. 12, 2010.

Those able to support the efforts of these nurses can get involved via the following:
•www.NationalNursesUnited.org—sign up to volunteer or donate
•Follow @NationalNurses on twitter: #haitiRN
•Call the RNRN hotline: 1-800-578-8225
•Support the RNRN/NNU disaster relief effort in Haiti by sending checks c/o California Nurses Foundation, 2000 Franklin St., Oakland, CA 94612. Charitable contributions will be used to pay for travel/related costs and medical supplies for volunteer RNs on their emergency nursing mission in Haiti.
