Farawyn Mar 31, 2015 It was fun. It really was. There were some kids that were way too young for the trip, but it was good. 2 staff I really like went as well. And with my own kids in the late high school/college process now it is always interesting to tour the schools. The parents calling their kids every 5 minutes, though. I don't get it. 0 Likes
100kids, BSN, RN Mar 31, 2015 Hope it went well. I did an overnight trip with our 6th graders 1 year to DC. I had a great time and opted for 3 comp days instead of extra pay. Used those days for a trip with my girlfriends to someplace tropical-totally worth it! 0 Likes
JenTheSchoolRN, BSN, RN Specializes in School nursing. Apr 1, 2015 My school takes all the seniors to Europe for 7 days. While it is a free trip to Europe (no extra payment), I don't jump at the chance to chaperone even though I love the kids. Though, I suppose, being in Europe does make it a little harder for parents to call all the time :).Tip of the hat to you, Farawyn. 0 Likes

JenTheSchoolRN, BSN, RN Specializes in School nursing. Apr 1, 2015 You mean free for you, right? Surely not for the kids....Yes, free for me/chaperones. We do fund raise all fall to reduce the cost for the students. They know the more money they raise, the cheaper the trip is for them. 0 Likes
OldDude Specializes in Pediatrics. Apr 1, 2015 Because one of my sons was attending a week long, junior high, summer camp a few years back I volunteered to be the camp nurse. I figured it'd be pretty cool since I wasn't expected to pay a fee and my meals would be provided....STUUUUUUUUUUPID. NEVER AGAIN 0 Likes
