What is a FEMA RN?

A FEMA RN (Registered Nurse) is a healthcare professional deployed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to provide medical care during disasters and emergencies. These nurses assist in shelters, hospitals, and disaster zones, offering critical care, vaccinations, and disease prevention. They work temporarily in high-need areas, often on short notice, to support communities affected by hurricanes, wildfires, pandemics, and other crises.

What types of assignments and work environments can a FEMA RN expect during deployment?

As a FEMA RN, you may be deployed to a variety of disaster sites across the country, such as shelters, mobile field clinics, or community health centers, depending on current emergencies. Assignments often involve providing direct patient care, triage, immunizations, and health education to individuals affected by natural or manmade disasters. The work environment can be fast-paced and unpredictable, requiring flexibility and quick adaptation to changing conditions. Collaborating closely with other medical professionals, first responders, and local health agencies is a regular part of the role. These assignments can be both challenging and rewarding, offering a chance to make a significant impact on communities in need.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the FEMA RN position, and why are they important?

To thrive as a FEMA RN (Registered Nurse with the Federal Emergency Management Agency), you must have a valid RN license, clinical experience in emergency or disaster response, and strong assessment skills. Familiarity with incident command systems, emergency management protocols, and specialized certifications such as BLS or ACLS are highly valuable. Excellent teamwork, adaptability, and resilience are crucial soft skills for handling high-pressure environments and rapidly changing situations. These qualities are essential to effectively support communities during disasters and ensure the health and safety of affected populations.

Can a FEMA RN work for FEMA?

These roles typically require relevant nursing licenses, emergency management training, and the ability to work in high-pressure environments. FEMA often hires healthcare professionals for temporary assignments or specialized roles related to disaster response and recovery.

Per diem

Posted 12 days ago


Job description

Registered Nurse (RN) — Emergency Shelter Operations

County / Location Lee County, FL — North Fort Myers (Southwest Florida)

Employer: Essential HealthCare Solutions, LLC

Job Type: PRN / Temporary — Storm Activation

Shifts: 12-hour shifts, days/nights; up to 24/7 coverage; up to 14 days

Pay: Competitive

About the Role

Essential HealthCare Solutions, LLC is building a roster of Florida-licensed Registered Nurses to deliver on-site nursing care at employee shelters during hurricane and severe-weather events in Southwest Florida. As the licensed clinical anchor at a shelter, you keep the line crews, contractors, and emergency personnel working to restore power healthy, safe, and fit for duty.

At minimum, one Florida-licensed RN is maintained on-site per shelter throughout each activation. This is on-call, activation-based work ideal for nurses who want meaningful disaster-response experience and flexible, well-compensated deployments.

Deployment Locations & Environment

Deployable to any of the three LCEC-designated shelter sites in North Fort Myers (Lee County), and to other facilities identified in writing by the Cooperative during an activation:

  • 4980 Bayline Drive, North Fort Myers, FL 33917
  • 141 East Mariana Avenue, North Fort Myers, FL 33917
  • LCEC Basecamp, Williams Road, North Fort Myers, FL 33917

    Shelter occupants may include Cooperative employees, line crews, vegetation-management contractors, mutual-aid personnel, emergency-operations staff, and authorized support personnel — populations of 50 to 500+ operating continuously for 24 hours to 14 days.

    What You'll Do

  • Conduct medical screening and health assessments of shelter occupants; evaluate non-emergency illnesses and injuries; assess fitness-for-duty concerns when requested by Cooperative management
  • Provide basic medical care — first aid, vital-sign monitoring, and management of minor illnesses and injuries — consistent with standing nursing protocols
  • Triage medical complaints, determine the appropriate level of care, and coordinate referral to urgent care, hospital, or EMS; document triage decisions and disposition
  • Respond to on-site medical incidents within five (5) minutes (met through continuous on-site presence) and provide emergency nursing care within scope until EMS assumes care
  • Monitor for heat illness, dehydration, fatigue, infectious-disease concerns, and mental-health stress indicators
  • Implement infection-prevention practices (hand hygiene, PPE, surface disinfection, surveillance) and recommend isolation or mitigation measures
  • Set up and manage the shelter medical station and maintain medical-supply inventory; request replenishment as needed
  • Maintain accurate documentation — service encounters, incident reports, supply-usage reports — supporting daily operational nursing reports and the after-action report
  • Direct on-site LPNs and CNAs and coordinate with EMS, hospitals, emergency management, and Cooperative safety personnel
  • Escalate serious incidents (death, hospitalization, EMS transport, suspected outbreak, significant injury) promptly to Cooperative management and EHS leadership

    What You'll Bring

  • Active, unencumbered Registered Nurse license in the State of Florida (or multistate / Nurse Licensure Compact privilege valid in Florida) — required
  • Current BLS certification — required (ACLS/PALS preferred)
  • Ability to pass a background screening
  • Ability to practice only within the scope of Florida RN licensure — no diagnosing or prescribing absent lawful medical-oversight authorization
  • Availability to deploy on short notice and work extended 12-hour shifts in shelter/field conditions
  • Preferred: prior emergency, storm, shelter, or field-medical experience; triage experience; ICS/FEMA (NIMS) familiarity

    Schedule & Conditions

    This is activation-based work. Deployments are triggered by storm events — from up to 72 hours before anticipated landfall, through impact, and into recovery — for periods of 24 hours to 14 consecutive days. You will work 12-hour shifts including nights, weekends, and holidays, in shelter and temporary-facility settings. Meals and lodging are provided during qualifying deployments, and PPE is supplied.

    Upon activation, you acknowledge the assignment within one (1) hour and confirm availability, roster placement, estimated deployment time, and emergency-contact information.

    Why Join Essential HealthCare Solutions

  • Meaningful work supporting Southwest Florida's storm-response and power-restoration mission
  • A role on a live, awarded emergency-response contract with a respected electric cooperative
  • Activation and deployment pay, with meals and lodging provided during qualifying deployments
  • Flexible, on-call commitment — you deploy when storms activate
