Retired Nurses

Are you a retired RN?

If so, you may already realize that changes in the profession have also meant changes for nurses who are retired. Perhaps you've elected to let your license lapse, but now would like to be involved in projects or volunteer positions that require a license. Or your license is current, but you need malpractice coverage in order to provide volunteer nursing services.

Underserved populations continue to need nursing and other health services they are unable to access or afford. If you would like to lend a helping hand during your retirement, perhaps you will find resources below that can help you help others.

The Public Health Reserve Corps (PHRC) is a group of local medical and non-medical workers who can augment Public Health as volunteers during a public health emergency or disaster. Some PHRC volunteers also provide important but non-emergent services to underserved populations throughout the year. For more information, click here.

Washington State Nurses Association has a special fee category for retired nurses. By maintaining your WSNA membership, you can continue to stay connected with colleagues and assist in the advancement of your profession during your retirement. For more information, or to join, visit www.wsna.org.
