This summer I volunteered to be the camp nurse for our church camp. One week and one hundred children plus staff. Definitly out of my comfort zone.I searched the internet and found that there is an association for camp nurse and this book. I ordered it with a basic first aid book.It gave me a good base and I survived a busy but enjoyable week.I'm looking forward to volunteering again next year.
Having no experience as a camp nurse, despite 27 years as an RN, I found this book to be invaluable! It is well written, thorough, detailed, and organized. I considered it an extra and unexpected bonus to be provided samples in the resource section in the back. The respectful and integrated relationship between the ACN and the American Camp Association was made clear, throughout the book. There were quite a bit of relevant references to nursing practice and the law... which connected more "dots", gave me a better understanding of the "whole picture", as well as a peace of mind. This book is a "must have" for every camp nurse. Consider making it a permanent part of your camp's supplies and make it a must read for future camp nurses at your camp. And thank you Ms Erceg for writing it!
She writes very well, and lists specific things you need to know for camp nursing. I was very surprised to find the amount of information and tips. Great book to have for a first time camp nurse like myself. I felt much more prepared.
I am an EMT running a Boy Scout camp health lodge. This is a great book, and provides protocols that are ready to adapt to any camp situation. I searched the Internet and found that the lowest cost for the book is on .
Good tips and practice information, somewhat simplistic on certain issues, but it covers a broad range of types of summer camps. Good recepies in the back, some organization things I felt could have been better, but using the index helped. I highly recommend this book for those who are brand new to Camp Nursing like I was. It gives you somewhere to start.
I have been a nurse for many years in a variety of different disciplines. This is my first time as a camp nurse and I wanted to be well educated and prepared for my new role. This book helped me so much doing just that. This book was highly recommended to me and I highly recommend it to any of you thinking of embarking on a new journey in camp nursing!
This was my first year doing teen camp for my church about 200 kids and this was helpful as I had no previous experience and no orientation by previous nurse.
I bought this book because I will be working as a camp nurse for the first time this summer. The book is very informative and gives a great foundation from which to be prepared for this unique nursing environment. I would highly recommend it!
