1. Unemployment??? Summer???

   Salemer posted a topic in School

   Hi there! I'm wondering what other school nurses do over the summer for work? I am an hourly employee during the school year and when there are no students on campus, I don't get paid. Any nurses out there qualify for unemployment? I'm in CT. Thank...

2. Camp Nursing Resources

   Salemer replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Camp

   Hi! I've been a camp nurse for 3 years and this year I'm running the show. Can anyone out there give me some guidance on what to touch upon during counselor orientation before the campers get here? I have the obvious stuff (ticks, hygiene, hydrati...

3. Endorsement & Temporary Practice Permit in PA - timeframe?

   Salemer replied to Clovery's topic in Pennsylvania

   I applied 3/24 and still nothing. Apply for the TPP (temp work permit). I applied for that in the end of April and just received my permit in the mail about a week ago. I called the BON and was told they are backlogged and it'll be longer than exp...

   Salemer replied to Clovery's topic in Pennsylvania

   MedSurgRN14- Click on the left where it says checklist. That should bring pop a box that says application, fee, transcripts (a few different things.) The only two things checked off out of 7 is the fee and something else. Glad I went back and appl...

5. Camp nursing in summer

   Salemer replied to kidzcare's topic in School

   That's pretty much why I do it too... I know I can make more elsewhere, but here my kids get to have a fantastic experience that I could never afford otherwise all while I get my laundry done for me and my meals made for me. It's hectic, but I have...

   Salemer replied to kidzcare's topic in School

   Hi! I've worked at a camp for the past two summers and I'm going to be the head nurse at a new camp this summer. It's fantastic. Don't get me wrong, it's a ton of work (the first summer we had the Norovirus) but it is so worth it. My pay is compa...

9. Camp Infirmary Protocols

   Salemer replied to farmherRN's topic in Camp

   Hey farmherRN! What about "when to call parents policy" or "overnight in the infirmary guidelines." I wish we would have had a lice protocol from the health center point of view. You know, when to treat, not to treat, RidX vs. natural products. W...

    Hi fellow nurses... I'm an RN from CT and am in the process of applying for a license in PA. CT does not require continuing education but PA does. Can someone explain to me how that works? I live in CT but plan on working temporarily in PA for th...

12. camp meds

    Salemer replied to CampNurse10's topic in Camp

    I haven't had experience with camp meds, the camp I work for uses Mountain Meds. Mountain Meds is fantastic. The parents are required to enroll their campers with Mountain Meds which means getting prescriptions from doctors ahead of time and gettin...
