Dawg Tired Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Our church was sponsoring a week-long camp for kids age 10 to 14; I did not volunteer to be the camp nurse because I knew it would be beyond my capabilities. 3 days before the camp was to start the director told my husband she could not find a nurse for camp. Hubby told her I might help if I had a place to lie down all the time. She told us that the cabin for the nurse was air conditioned, had a microwave, refrigerator, and a private bathroom. I told her I would come down BUT - I could NOT run around and keep up with the kids. She said that would be fine, I would be needed to only distribute meds to a few kids who needed them and take care of first-aid situations. Ok, I decided to try. I packed up and went to the camp. My "cabin" was kind of a three-bedroom house I would be sharing with 4 other women. Ok, I can handle that. I asked about the air conditioning; no such thing. I should have gone back home then but I decided I was doing a good deed so I would try to tough it out. The heat index every day was over 100 degrees, I never got to bed before 1am and then had to get up at 6 am every day for morning meds. I was miserable!!! To top it off several of the counselors were snotty about me "doing nothing but sitting in the cabin all day". The lady for whom I had volunteered never told them I had health problems! URRRGGGHHHH!!! Some people! OK, I'll shut up now - thanks for letting me vent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corina Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Vent as much as you like, but most of all: be proud of yourself (and if you ever do such a thing again: tell everyone about your situation so they can understand)Corina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
