Hello everyone!
I’m a new-ish camp nurse heading up our health center, hoping to get some guidance on setting up a schedule for my staff. We are a residential camp with 2 RNs and 2 aides for a total of 5 weeks (for about 200 campers and 115 staff).
I’ll have myself and the other RN alternate nights on call, and I know so much is dependent on how the summer is going, but I’m not sure how much off-time to shoot for with each person. Personally, it’s easy for me to shrug off any rest time to my long-term detriment, so I’d love to at least start off with clear guidelines for us all.
Any thoughts on whether it would be useful to have both aides on at the same time or alternate shifts?
I’d appreciate any guidance or being pointed to any helpful resources.
Thanks so much,
Joanna
