Camp Nurses - Please Introduce Yourself Here.

Hello All!
I am an LPN, currently in school for my BSN full-time in the spring and fall. So as not to "waste" my very hard-earned LPN, I have accepted a job as a camp nurse this summer. I will be working in a well-staffed health office and never be working alone, so I feel confident about my support system and am truly excited to be going to camp. I am also pretty young (and very short!!) so I think I will really bond with my campers.
Good luck to everyone this summer! I will hopefully report back when I get a chance periodically throughout the season (camp goes from June 22-August 16).

Hi,
Im Stacie LPN
Im going to WV this summer for my 1st summer camp job.
Im pretty excited and a tiny bit worried about what to expect. They are providing my 2 kids camp and travel $ its just for 2 weeks, but I know I will have to have some $. I looked at the packing list for the kids and just cot sheets are $80! I would like some insight on what to stock, bring etc. I've raised 4 kids and feel confident I can handle minor stuff, and the closest hosp is 9 miles away. So this brings some relief. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

HI, which camp? Is this your first CLV experience? I am getting ready for year 4 at Korean Camp, and it is the BEST!

Wow.. this is a position I never even thought of! I'm finding such great ideas today!

Hey - My name is Cathy - preparing to go to my fifth summer at Camp Sea Gull, a sailing YMCA camp along the NC seaboard. We take care of >1000 campers/counselors at a time, it is really alot of fun - I recommend it to anyone - especially if you can take your children. I took my teenaged boys, and we were able to have quality time like we haven't seen in many years.

Hi I'm a student nurse, graduating in May this year. I took my first position as a camp nurse at a Bible Camp in Wisconsin for this coming summer. I am excitedly awaiting this summer, but any advice from those of you who are more experienced would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
I am not sure if this is where I introduce myself, so sorry. I am going to be a camp nurse for a month this summer at a boys camp in Maine. I get to bring my two sons. I haven't received the list yet of what to bring, so we'll see how that goes. I am very excited as I have never had the chance to be a camp nurse. I have been a RN for over 30 years, so hopefully my past experience will help me.
