Eligibility
The QNI will consider applications from registered nurses in financial need, who work or have worked in the community rather than in hospital settings, such as:
- Queen's Nurses
- District Nurses
- Practice Nurses
- Health Visitors
- Community Midwives
- Community Psychiatric Nurses
- Community Children's Nurses
- Other registered nurses who have worked with patients in the community
What kind of help can we give?
We will consider almost any request, but help is usually given, for example, with the provision of essential household items, building repairs or adaptations, respite care or holidays, specialist equipment such as walk-in baths, stair lifts, electric wheelchairs and amenity bills. In certain cases, the QNI may make regular quarterly payments to clients.
We will also consider applications requesting help from nurses in the community who need some financial assistance at crucial times to help them remain in the profession.
We regret that we cannot help with:
- Residential or nursing home fees
- Debt
- Cost of medical treatment
- Funeral expenses.
