What types of questions to ask during an Interview?


I am a NEW RN, and I have applied for a camp nurse position for a local summer camp that is for kids of low income families. The term is for 12 weeks and there are different camping sessions in the term. I am meeting with the camp director next week for an interview and was wondering what types of information I should be asking about this position.
I know that I have a lot of questions but I wanted to know from experienced nurses and experienced camp nurses if there are important questions that I may have not thought about to ask.
Thanks

How many campers are there and how many nurses will you be working with? If you are the only one and get sick, who will cover? What day of the week will you have off? Know your states labor laws as they pertain to camps.

Is there a washer/dryer available for you to use? One camp I know of (great camp too!) does not allow access to W/D and it's 20 mins to town.

What is the policy for getting up at night with campers? This is important because if you are are all night with kids vomiting, who will cover the next day?

Is there a camp mom or someone assigned to homesick kids? It's difficult when you have a homesick camper sobbing in the corner all day when you have sick kids--then everyone is homesick. IMO homesick kids do not belong in the infirmary...that being said I will try my best to reassure homesick kids and get them active in camp but if busy or a chronic problem, someone else needs to handle them.

Know the state regulations on camp--by knowing them you can be sure the camp is in compliance.
