Alex, I actually have those standing orders saved to my computer! Those are a huge help in referencing! We have something put together from the previous years but its about 160 pages and way too in depth for what we do. I'm looking to simplify things. Thanks for your advice!

Hey Salemer, Great Advice! We do have the majority of that stuff covered. I've been going through and creating general policies for any new nurses in the future of this camp. That will give them a cheat manual and make their life easier. It's not fun to pull together stuff for the medical side of protocols. As far as abd pain, fever, vomiting, etc. I'm slowly making it through them though!

Hey y'all!! I'm starting my 5th summer as a Camp Nurse! 3 summers in Maine and 2 in Wyoming. It's an ACA accreditation year for us. I have been tasked with working on our protocols/policies/manual for the Infirmary. You know, the "what to do if this happens" kind of stuff that our physician will sign off on. I know some of the basic stuff to write up; fever, cuts, bruises, sore throat, etc. What are some things y'all have run into that would be helpful to have? We are a Ranch Camp specializing in horseback riding and backpacking. Also, do y'all have any good sources to help me pull this information together? Thanks!!
