The nurses union has supported protesters in other cities across the country associated with the Occupy Wall Street movement. In some of the encampments, the nurses have established first-aid stations.

The nurses group in Maine says it wants to show solidarity with the protesters and also will be donating supplies and giving a presentation on basic first aid as winter approaches.

The group plans a news conference about its support for the protesters at noon Thursday in Monument Square.

The Maine State Nurses Association/National Nurses United represents more than 2,000 nurses in the state and nationally represents 150,000 registered nurses, the group said.
