There has been a little off topic activity on another thread so I guess it's time for the 2015 work thread
Please introduce yourself, and post about your jobs for the year. Share opportunities, and network.
I'm Big Al. I am an LPN who has been working at a PA summer camp for the past four seasons. I am currently negotiating my contracts for 2015. My wife and I have a new baby so my usual summer job cannot house us. I am persuing other opportunities right now, and hope to sign a contract by next week.
I'm pretty excited. I just signed with my old camp to come up for orientation. I do two weeks strong up my home of four years, then I come home and spend six weeks with the new program. Totally unexpected that it would work out so I could do both.
I will be returning back to Camp Vacamas in NJ, my 7 th year. It's 2 hours away from my home, so now since I have a full time job at a Level 1 Trauma hospital . I go once a week and stay 2 days, my kids stay all summer. It gives me a break and they get to return without me leaving my job
Opening Day is 3 weeks from tomorrow for us! Feeling so underprepared after being short staffed during the rest of the year with our other programs. When do all of you start?
Hello I am doing a one week police cadet academy camp ages 13-21 end of July. New experience for me but I'm excited I looked up the meds on the list I don't use at work. Reviewed insect bites sun burns etc. Any other suggestions? 400 campers one other nurse 24/7 on call. It's at a local university.
Hello! NP from Ohio here. Going to a camp in Maine this year. They have a whole summer, 8 week option and then two four week sessions, and some can even go for two weeks. We ( my 8 and 10 year old) are going for the first 4 week session. My daughter and I went to a small girls camp in NC last summer. But this year wanted to include my son. They are super excited, as am I. I had some unexpectedly severe homesickness last year myself. I am hoping this year is better because both my kids will be there. My husband will be holding down the homestead alone. But I don't think I will miss him too much.
Im a nurse in Michigan for my "real Job" and I do a week of autism camp (as the only nurse) and will do a week at a new NJ camp program (only nurse again) this month.
I love camp nursing, i am always figuring out how to finagle another week of summer vacation to go to camp!
Last day of camp for me was yesterday! How has everyone's summer been? Every summer I'm amazed at how much happened and how quickly the summer flew by.
Just finished packing. I split my year between two camps. My usual camp was very much missed. My new camp left much to be desired and I probably not return.
