CloudySue Specializes in Pediatric Private Duty; Camp Nursing. Has 6 years experience. 710 Posts Dec 23, 2012 I got an offer, but does 2 days off (in a row) for the entire 4 weeks sound right to you? The pay is a lot lower than I was hoping. I've emailed asking if this was the best offer they had for me. Meanwhile other applications are out there in various stages of progress. 0 Likes

Alex Egan, LPN, EMT-B Specializes in Home Health (PDN), Camp Nursing. Has 9 years experience. 6 Articles; 857 Posts Dec 28, 2012 I've never trained tuition for work so I can't help there. However I agree check the Internet. DO NOT go through an agency. They take your money for no reason. 0 Likes

Nurse Connie 244 Posts Jan 22, 2013 I will be going back to Camp Quinipet in Shelter Island, NY to work for one week. I have 2 weeks vacation from my regular job and my kids have been talking about going back to camp non stop since last summer, so we'll be spending a week at camp! I'm really looking forward to going back. 0 Likes
