Yes we could make 10s of dollars! I'm tossing around this years ideas for writing. I would love to read anything you put out. I want to try to time some new content with the influx of new folks for the year.

I would love to hear from folks who have successfully used unlicensed assistive personnel in a med administration or other clinical role.

Also a managers view on what is considered a good camp nurse candidate.

I took over as supervising nurse of a health center in Maine, I'm currently hiring for a full time nurse. I'll be hiring for an additional 3 nurses over summer (for a total of 4 besides myself), but don't have my summer job posting up yet. It's never too late to start looking, but there are camps out there that post a little later. :)

big al - feel free to reach out to me with specific questions. I work year round at a foundation that has a semester school, boys camp, wilderness trips, and has shorter encampments/trips for school groups in the spring and fall. I am a supervising nurse and use unlicensed assistants for med administration all the time. There is no way I could be there all the time for every program. Historically I've had a second RN year round and I hire additional nurses over summer, but still use unlicensed personnel for wilderness trips, overnights on our campsites away from the center of campus, and off campus day trips.

I was just on Indeed yesterday helping my daughter look for summer jobs, and I saw postings for camp nurses. So the ads are out.

Do anyone know camps with openings, up North that pay for travel and at least $650 per week since I have no camper to bring? I only want 2-3 weeks for my assignment. If you do message me with details, thanks. (I have been an RN for 29 years, 10 as a school nurse and my first camp job in Michigan last summer for 3 weeks.) Last summer was great but I am looking for a non-Jewish camp this time around. I am available from June 10-August 6. Also it was only 2 nurses and we worked 24/7 with few breaks.
