Sharing this opportunity below for a volunteer Camp Nurse. Might be a great opportunity for newly licensed RNs who are awaiting for jobs or retired licensed nurses?
We are reaching out for assistance and are looking for a potential camp nurse. We are a 100% volunteer, all-female organization, staffed by women in STEM fields, so we are looking for a female nurse to staff the camp. There is a good stipend, room and board, mileage, and all related supplies are covered.
Our nurse candidate needs to commit to the entire program/entire week.
The stipend is $1500, and room and board are fully provided, along with all necessary materials, parking, etc.
Nurse arrives Sat. morning, July 11, with other staff for setup and prep at the dorm building at UCD.
The campers arrive on Sunday, and the nurse collects their meds from their parents.
And everyone goes home Saturday, July 18, at midday.
The nurse also needs to be available to attend a few Zoom training sessions in the months prior to camp and, along with the Camp Directors, review the camp roster of campers and staff to identify any medical issues that may require accommodations.
We have a complete job description for a camp nurse available upon request, but here are some of the responsibilities during the week:
- Being responsible for camper medications.
- Distributing medication to campers at the appropriate time in accordance with the patient’s rights of medication administration.
- Being available and providing care during medical emergencies at camp.
- Holding office hours for campers to come with medical issues.
There are also some duties that will be required before camp. These include:
- Screening staff and campers for potential medical conditions and notifying camp directors of any identified conditions.
- Assisting the camp directors in assessing the families of campers with medical conditions in order to provide and determine reasonable accommodations for those with medical conditions.
- Attending 2-3 Zoom training meetings in the months leading up to the camp week to learn the Medical tracking software we use at camp.
We would appreciate it if you could forward this email to your nursing students, preferably those in their 1-2 years of nursing school.
Additionally, if you know any RNs or NPs who already hold their certification and fit the description and would like more details, please forward their information to us. We are willing to discuss further details with any potential candidate.
Please forward any questions to techtrekdavis@gmail.com.
