Seeking Summer Nurses: Summer 2022

In person summer enrichment program serving students in Grades 4-7 on the campus of Wheaton College in Norton, Massachusetts.

Dates: June 26 - August 5, 2022

Benefits: Competitive Salary

Exploration Summer Programs (www.explo.org) is seeking Massachusetts registered nurses (RNs), licensed practice nurses (LPNs), APRNS, and/or nurse practitioners for its 2022 summer programs, located on the campus of Wheaton College in Norton, Massachusetts. Our team of nurses work with a population of rising 4th-7th grade students from around the United States and over thirty countries. Responsibilities will include caring for students with minor injuries or illness, communicating with students' parents about any issues that may arise, and coordinating care with our consulting pediatricians.

Our program runs this summer from June 26, 2022 to August 5, 2022. Most registered nurse candidates should expect to work shifts totaling 30-45 hours per week, which may include some weekends and occasional overnights. We also have the option to hire nurses to work primarily evenings and weekends. Most shifts overlap so you can expect to regularly work alongside other registered nurses. We will schedule your hours before the summer and take your preferences into account.

If you are interested in this position, please reach out directly to Titilayo Westover, Head Nurse, at titilayowestover@explo.org.

Requirements

Nurse candidates should be comfortable working with elementary and middle school students, communicate well with colleagues and patients, and should be able to manage issues fairly independently. Successful nurse candidates are often described by others as friendly, grounded, low-stress, bright, adaptable, and organized. Many of our nurses return summer after summer because they find the job rewarding (though still challenging) and are surrounded by wonderful colleagues.

Experience working with students in a camp or school setting is preferred, but not required. Candidates should have at least one year of professional registered nursing (RN, NP) experience.

Must be licensed in the state of Massachusetts. Must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

Benefits

Pay is competitive. All meals are provided when on-duty. A private bedroom next to the health office is available for nurses who work overnights. (Overnight nurses may sleep while on-duty.)
