Job Description

LinkedRN.com

The Fresh Air Fund, an independent, not-for-profit agency, has provided free summer experiences to more than 1.8 million New York City children from low-income communities since 1877. Each summer, 3,000 children between the ages of eight and fifteen attend five Fresh Air Fund sleepaway camps on a 2,000-acre site in Fishkill, NY.

We are looking for licensed RNs and LPNs who have at least one year of post-graduate experience, enjoy working with children, and are able to work in a structured residential setting. Camp Nurses are responsible for all health related care of campers and staff at our five camps. Duties include: medication distribution; health education teaching and maintenance; emergency care; referrals to camp doctor; nursing care of campers and staff requiring short-term bed rest; communication of pertinent medical information to The Fresh Air Fund office and parents; and maintaining medical records and logs.

Applicants should be professional, flexible and caring. We prefer nurses to work the full camp season, but will consider half season employment as well. Camp Nurses are provided with private rooms at their assigned camp and eat meals in the camp dining hall with campers and staff. Each nurse is encouraged to participate in the general camp program as much as possible.

If an applicant is not New York State licensed, we will pay for the necessary fees to obtain a license. We offer an excellent salary and a travel allowance. For more information please contact us at [email protected] or visit our website at: www.freshair.org/camp.
