Thirteen nursing students from the John Hopkins University School of Nursing are going to be heading over to New Orleans for their spring break. They will be volunteer to help in the Lower Ninth Ward which was badly damaged in 2005 by Hurricane Katrina. The students are calling themselves Team NOLA (New Orleans, LA). Though they will be mostly involved in doing residential rebuilding, they will also work with nurses to conduct screenings and lend assistance to those who still have limited access to healthcare facilities.

In the aftermath of any disaster, be it a hurricane, tsunami, or tornado, nurses are the most needed personnel. Nurses hold the whole system together by provding the care that a physician is not trained to provide. Nurses are the oil in the healing machinery. Despite the fact that Katrina happened in 2005, there are still areas of New Orleans without adequate healthcare services, and in a lot of places it is because of the lack of nurses.
