Interview for nurses assistant at a summer camp

Published

Hi guys,

I put my profile on a site for camp nurses, and one camp has already emailed me saying they were interested, and called me.

I did a little mini interview the other day, and was told to email my references (which I have done), then come up with some questions and call back in a couple of days to follow up so we may be able to "tie things up."

What types of questions should I be asking? I already know that I would be working with one other nurse, there are about 180 campers there for the entire summer, room and board is provided, free time is one full day (24 hours straight) off per week along with 2 or 3 nights off a week and if it's slow, pay is at the end of the summer, the schedule is mostly worked out between the two nurses, there is an MD there the entire summer, the population is predominately Jewish, but it's not a Jewish camp, and it's no problem that I'm not Jewish -- there are campers and other staff who aren't etc.

What else should I know before I go ahead and make the decision if I am in fact offered the job?

Here are the questions I've thought of:

- What is the housing like? (Toilet, shower, electricity etc)

- How is laundry done (facilities there, service etc)?

- Is there phone/internet access?

- What does the training entail?

- How much independence would there be as a NA?

- Is there a uniform?

- Is first aid training/certification needed?

- Favorite part of camp?

Are these good? Anything else I should ask? I'm planning on calling later today.

Thanks!
