Camp nurse uniform

Shorts and a staff t shirt. Closed toe shoes. The only other requirement was a green bandana during olympics that designates us as non involved parties, and exempts us from the movement restrictions the other staff have.

The nurses at my camp pretty much wear whatever we want.... just no hoochie mama clothes

I was told I'd be issued a camp staff polo once I'm there. I'd rather wear scrubs to be more recognizable as a medical professional, but not a big deal.

Yea we sugested last year that they find a way to make the nurses more identifiable, either a different color shirt. They get genaric STAFF and SECURITY shirts, I sugested that their may be a MEDIC vairent available. I doubt they will change it though, after the first week everyone knows who the nurses are, so its really not a huge issue. Really if i had to choose between that or a complete set of incident command system vests I would choose the vest, really its the thought of a mass casuality or full evacuation of camp that keeps me up at night.

I manage a staff of 3 nurses. I, too, believe that nurses should have their own identity. My first year here, I bought scrub tops for our nurses, had them embroidered with our logo, the nurse's name, and "Camp So-and-so Nursing" on the bottom line. We wear them during check-in. The rest of the time, shorts & T-shirts. We've had good feedback on this.

Closed toe shoes and a good hat complete the outfit. Good luck!

I just finished my second summer as a camp nurse. I wear my lab coat over "normal clothes" on the first- and last days so that parents can identify me (and kids, on the first day). Otherwise, just regular clothes with a big ol' belt pack stuffed full of band-aids and any other first aid thing I might need immediate access to!
