Welcome to INVENT The Illinois Nurse Volunteer Emergency Needs Team (INVENT) is a volunteer group of Registered Nurses (RNs) trained to provide nursing care during a state declared disaster or emergency situation. Examples of circumstances under which INVENT may be activated include; mass casualty incidents, mass immunization efforts, or local hospital surges.INVENT may also be activated to enhance an IMERT response, to staff field hospitals, to assist local health departments with post-exposure follow-up, and to assist with the Illinois Poison Control Disaster Hotline. Partnering with other agencies such as: IDPH, Emergency Medical Services for Children, IMERT, Emergency Nurses Associations, Illinois College of Emergency Physicians, and Illinois Poison Control, nurses from all backgrounds are pre-credentialed and provided with preparedness training. We are currently seeking RNs from all backgrounds and specialty areas to join INVENT. In addition, INVENT is seeking licensed Dentists, Pharmacists, or Paramedics who are interested in participating as emergency responders, particularly during the recovery phase of a disaster/outbreak. Training requirements are the same as those for nurses.
