Red Cross Appeal For Philippines

At Continental Travelnurse, our nurses are our family and right now our family is hurting. Here's one of many moving notes we've received from one of the talented and qualified nurses we met while conducting interviews in the Philippines. Please help by donating to the Red Cross in the UK or directly to the Red Cross in the Philippines.

Hello! I never thought I'd be able to email you again after all we've been through. The super typhoon hit Tacloban City with pinpoint accuracy completely destroying our houses, buildings and more. You've heard the news on CNN and other channels; we were there literally during those times
looking for our relatives, loved ones and potable water. After days of heavy rain, wind, food shortage and rampage of crimes Ms. Jazzle and I were able to arrive here with her family at Cebu City safely earlier this 8am. My parents and other siblings are still at Tacloban City.
Thank you for all your prayers; we do appreciate them. Please continue doing so for we are in dire need of them for the death toll is rising everyday. We also thank you for the UK's help -- some of which reached me first hand. Bottled water quenched my thirst and your biscuits were truly crucial during those early days.
By the way, my hospital was also flooded out for it was near the coast. A lot of patients have died and Bethany is temporarily closed. I believe there is still hope amidst all this. Like Ms. Jazzle, I have a job interview this 21st November. I will apply for other hospitals in Manila and follow-up my other applications too while doing reviews for my IELTS.
We thank God for giving us this second life.  Ms. Jazzle and I are still hoping we will be able to fulfill our dreams of working with Continental Travelnurse.
Once again, thank you for the prayers. More power!
Sincerely;
Roque
Emergency room nurse

Cruise Up The Thames Party!

Continental Travelnurse invited one and all to come to London and travel up the Thames on a River Light cruise recently. Here are some great photos and a recap from Lina, one of our terrific recruiters. If you want to join the Continental Travelnurse family and use your skills to travel to Europe and combine work with pleasure, contact us now.

"Despite a windy evening, many of our Travelnurses joined us on our River light boat cruise on the 11^th of October. It was a beautiful cruise on the Thames! As the sun went down and the lights came on, you could see London’s riverside landmarks at their glittering best.  We cruised by the London Eye, the Tower of London, the skyscrapers at Canary Wharf up to Tower Bridge. With a glass of bubbly and canapés in hand, we started the night off with getting to know each other by playing “Celebrity Heads”. The lucky winners in this competition were Anna Forester and Greg Hays. We continued the night listening to a selection of jazz and chill-out pop songs from a live performer on the boat. Thank you so much everybody who joined us on this great cruise; it was really good to see so many familiar and new faces!"  -- Lina

Thanks, Lina! Sounds like a wonderful time was had by one and all.
