How Many "Angels" Must We Send Back To Heaven?
Angels in Waiting, (AIW) is a nonprofit tax-exempt 501(c)(3) public charity, created by Nurses who are addressing the needs of America’s forsaken medically fragile foster care infants and children. We would like to introduce you to the crucial and life saving work achieved through our cost effective, innovative nursing program.
Mission Statement:
AIW is dedicated to recruiting qualified nurses to provide loving homes, nursing care, and other needed services for Medically Fragile Foster Care Infants and Children. We help facilitate the infant / child move from hospitals, institutions, group homes and ill-equipped foster homes, into private residences under the care of Registered Nurses and Licensed Vocational Nurses as their foster parents. We provide three essential ingredients for these infants and children to heal – A Loving Home Environment - Individualized Nursing Care - Early Intervention Therapies.
Description of Our Program –
Linda West- Conforti, RN., and the founder of Angels in Waiting is certified as a Foster Parent for Medically Fragile Infants and Children and is a Independent Nurse Provider with Medi-Cal’s, EPSDT- In Home Operations program.
AIW has created a new venue for Nurses, a unique way to impact the lives of needy children, beyond the hospital and clinical setting, ideal for the nurturing souls of nurses who wish to “clock in,” in the comforts of their own home.
AIW’s program recruits and trains dedicated experienced Registered Nurses and Licensed Vocational Nurses to reach out to the Foster Care system and provide these children the essential medical services, educational services, and loving structured relationships, all in a safe neutering home environment.
The AIW nurses who open their homes to these infants and children will be trained in the early intervention components. Our goal and objectives’ is to teach the nurses to address the developmental delay issues and identified appropriate goals for each child in their care. We will be offering CEH’s, and will instructed nurses so they fully understand the proper course of treatments needed, to improve and strengthen the physical, emotional, cognitive and psychological outcomes of Medically Fragile foster care infants and children in their care. This educational module will be preformed through AIW’s web site portals that are located on our home page.
Often the developmental delays in these children are due more to their medical deficiencies and long-term hospitalization, or frequent foster home placement changes, rather than cognitive impairments.
With appropriate daily playtime educational therapies and on-going developmental assessments, available through AIW’s training modules, the children usually meet or surpass developmental milestones. When these precious souls are adopted out into permanent homes, they are well on their way to a happy and healthy childhood.
We are proud to announce more than 85% of our Nurses, adopt their medically fragile infants or children! As a result of this gallant gesture, AIW is constantly recruiting for more dedicated, experienced noble Nurses.
Nurses for Safer Access®
Nurses for Safer Access® is a non-profit organization of professional and registered nurses, who are dedicated to reforming the way in which nature’s medicine and other alternative treatment modalities are provided to and received by those with a medical or personal need for them.
Through Angels In Waiting, Ms. West-Conforti has come to understand the overwhelming impact that both the pharmaceutical industry and illicit drugs have had on our culture. The toxic effects of these drugs are magnified in the drug-impacted infant, and these ramifications can be extrapolated to understand how drugs have come to impact our cultural in general.
It is well documented that numerous pharmaceuticals create a myriad of other disorders when attempting to treat a specific single disorder. An ultimate goal of Nurses For Safer Access is to introduce clients and their western physician to Nature’s Medicine under the auspice of experienced Registered Nurses.
We believe that the unfavorable effects of pharmaceutical drugs can be ameliorated through the usage of effective dosages of herbal products. In this manner, the abyss between modern medicine and traditional medicine can be bridged. New discoveries with regard to the herbs of the Amazonian rain forest and the therapies created by aboriginal Americans are being utilized by Nurses For Safer Access to halt and address the cellular mutation that is the basis for numerous, health disorders.
The sine qua non philosophy of Nurses For Safer Access is to empower our clients to take command of his or her health by educating them about their bodies, their disease entity, and the medications they are consuming. NFSA Nurses, Empowers our clients to ask questions and to “Stand Up” to their western doctors who prescribe designer drugs that have serious side effects such as physical and psychological dependency.
This hard-hitting economic climate has additionally created widespread, stress-related disorders that Nurses For Safer Access is focused on mitigating. Furthermore, the financial destruction of the local economy is a consequential reason for the creation of Nurses For Safer Access. The grants and donations that had previously existed for Angels In Waiting, which can only survive through donations, ceased to be sufficient to support the ever-growing numbers of these medically fragile, drug addicted infants. We strongly feels that Nurses For Safer Access will become a very successful alternative for individuals who do not have adequate access to western medicine and or desire pharmaceutical free therapy!
