So, I made a commitment...

[CoffeePlease]

I suppose I'm going to get some good and some bad feedback from my friends here.

I was a camp nurse at a pretty big camp this summer and I decided to come back for their fall season of school age science camp. Now that I'm here, I am counting the days till I can be finished. I would rather be back in a hospital. I don't feel fulfilled here and I long for more acute care. There are 3 nurses here, and about 30 counselors, with about 400-500 campers per week. The admin staff is wonderfully supportive. The salary is good and I share a house with nice people. I really have nothing to complain about- I just would rather work somewhere else.

I want to keep my word, and make it till mid December, so I don't screw the other two nurses. Does anyone have any pointers for what I might be able to do to feel fulfilled in this work? Any challenging projects that I might be able to take on to make this nursing more interesting?

I have thought about working on certifications that might be helpful in a job search, re-writing the camp health policies, and finding a job in a local hospital for a few per diem shifts to keep life interesting. None of these seem completely practical. Maybe I'm just in a rut and can't think for myself right now.

Ideas, friends?
