Leaving on Wednesday 6/22 for my 4th Summer at camp. My camp is in NH. Residential camp with 3 sessions. Any where from 100 - 240 kids per session, around 100 staff. We host international campers and staff... so fun to catch up with friends from ...
I work for a camp in NH. The company who has supplied our O2 tanks is not out of business. Where to you all source your tanks from? Is it a seasonal contract?
Looking forward to camp again this year. We had a phenomenal season last year desp...
Hi all,
I'm just wondering, are your camps mandating Covid vaccine for campers this year? Our camp is requiring the vaccine for all staff, but a decision has not been made regarding campers.
I started once both my kids were a good age for camp. Knowing my amazing experience at Summer camp as a kid, I wanted to give them the opportunity. I asked around and was referred to a camp in NH. We live in Massachusetts.
I was hired, and ...

MA nurse also. I'm searching for the isolation room requirements. Could you provide a link? I've been searching through all my CDC and DESE information, but I can't seem to locate. Thank you!
I'm wondering what the fate of camps will be this Summer due to the Covid-19 pandemic. I know our Board is having a teleconference next week to discuss. Our camp hosts international campers and staff. I'm sad to think that camp may not happen this...

I stayed on PRN at the hospital for 4 years. Two years ago, I took a position as a camp nurse during the summers. Best job ever! It's busy, but relatively stress free and so much fun. My kids come with me and have had so many amazing experiences ...
Give yourself a bit more time. School nursing is unlike any other area of nursing. It's overwhelming at first and training for a school nurse position is typically sub par. Making decisions without having another nurse to confer with is daunting a...
There is a School Nurse Group on Facebook. I put a quick post up there and had several people respond. We hired a nurse that I think will be a perfect fit for our camp. Good luck!
Happy Nurse's Week! I received lovely flowers, a nice card, and a sweet desk sign that says "I'm a School Nurse, What's your Superpower?" I love my school. Have a great week everyone!
Good luck! Our district has become pretty strict on this as well. No food for birthdays. Parents may send in a non-food item to celebrate if they wish. Halloween, Christmas, and Valentines we do allow food but kids do "party in a box". They deco...
