Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Looking for camps in need of RNS
Permalink  

My hubby and I are considering starting this lifestyle soon. We are both RNs and considering working in some camps for kids with or without special health concerns. Can anybody point us in the right direction?

What about shopping the traveling nurse companies. I would imagine these camps are short term contracts which would be a great fit for these companies.

Try: www.coolworks.com as they have a variety of positions and I checked and they do have children camps that advertise. Good luck!

These are 2 outstanding camps that work with kids that have multiple types of disabilities. Both do great work and would be interesting to work at!

One thing you'll need to consider is your nursing license. Unlike working on a Federal island (the technical term for military bases) as I did when on active duty, you'll need to have a current license for each state in which you work as a Registered Nurse. I believe the traveling nurse agencies take help with the paperwork and costs for their nurses, but doing it on your own, you would be just that - on your own!

http://nurses.campstaff.com   - This one works well, camps really do get back to you. Prime hiring time is Jan - March. You can create a resume and send it to dozens of camps, it works great. Gives a good description of every opportunity.

Its lots of work, but fun and rewarding. As you'd expect, the northeast pays best. Part of what's good about it is that most/all of your living expenses are paid for while in camp.

 

Happy hunting - its a great gig!

I've done it so if you have more questions, feel free to ask!
