Hey guys,
I guess I'm looking for mostly legal advice, I was contacted this morning by a person who runs a camp in MA. They stated that they needed a "camp nurse" for 8 days, and were hoping that I could fill that position. There will be 40 kids, aged 12-17. Activities at a waterfront (with lifeguards), various sports/games. The job entails responding to medical issues as well as organizing the medications which some of the kids will need to take.
The pay is high, but I'm a bit worried about legal implications of this job. What are my "protocols" if any? Am I able to operate as a first responder? Where do I lie? Last year, the camp had a completely incompetent RN who performed her duties poorly, and I ended up having to pick up most of her slack.
Let's hear it guys, should I take this gig?
