   Yep, overseas staff too. So many things to think about that no one is taking very seriously. Ugh. Thanks for the empathy!

2. Measles and camp staff

   blue bag nurse posted a topic in Camp

   Do your camps allow staff members with immunization exemptions to work at camp? I'm talking staff, not campers. My camp sent out an email, very clearly stating that no one can work at camp unless they have a certificate or titers with them. My fir...

3. Low stress job vs more challenging job vs higher income??

   Columbia is pretty inexpensive. I was worried you'd say Charleston, which has just gotten stupid expensive and crowded. I grew up in Columbia....lexington actually. Currently in Charelston!

   Where in SC? Just curious since I live here, maybe could give some insight on that. And with cost of living, it's abt the same.

5. Why camp nursing?

   blue bag nurse replied to YoursNursingly's topic in Camp

   I'm a school nurse so I can be a camp nurse. Like someone else mentioned, I use it as a means to travel. I've been with the same camp for 11 summers and I raised my girls there. I am still getting them open and set up this summer, but then I am m...

10. Anyone willing to fill out a survey abt camp nursing?

    blue bag nurse posted a topic in Camp

    I'm going to be doing a presentation/education session about camp nursing for my school nurse co-workers. After thinking about it, I realized I would love to have the answers and opinions of others so I'm not just talking about myself. If you ha...

11. Packing List

    blue bag nurse replied to Amethya's topic in Camp

    Take your creature comforts. I always tend to overpack, but since I drive my own car, that is okay. After doing it for 10 years, I know as long as I have my good pillow, a makeup mirror and my comfy pjs I can make it. Don't take too many regular ...

13. Where to find Camp nurse jobs?

    blue bag nurse replied to lajf.crs's topic in Camp

    It's been a really long time since I found my job, but I think it was the ACN website that I used. The Association of School Nurses is a good one too. The past 2 nurses hired at our camp came to us that way, I believe.

    Just had to do this last week. Rotted teeth and swollen jaw. I even found a dentist who would see the kid. Nothing until DSS showed up.

    I only have one thing to add, "cult-like" describes all the camps in the Wayne County area. ? I've been a follower of my cult for 11 years now. Haha! They visited our camp once and performed, it was great.
