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, hydration, washing hands, med admin, health center hours) but is there anything else I should touch upon?

Thanks in advance!

I can't say enough positive about the Association of Camp Nurses! I purchased a membership after accepting a position as volunteer nurse for a week this summer. The newsletters had lots of helpful info and back issues were available online. The forum wasn't super busy but I also gleaned some helpful tips and tricks.

The Scope and Standards of Camp Nursing was updated this year. This really helped me understand the role from a professional prospective. I also purchased a "Camp Nursing Basics" textbook from the ACN.
