Nursing Requirements

All camps and reunions, excluding retreats, must have at least one of the following on duty at all times, in order of preference:

1. Licensed Medical Doctor (who are willing to provide their own insurance)

2. Nurse Practitioner

3. Registered Nurse (RN)

4. Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), with first aid training.

5. Paramedic

6. Emergency Medical Technician (EMT)

*Michigan Licensed First Aide Responders may be used in Michigan ONLY.

ALL LICENSES MUST BE CURRENT.

If a volunteer from the Mission Center that meets one of these (7) requirements CANNOT be found,

• one may be hired, or

• one may be sought from a neighboring mission center.

Medical staff at camps and reunions must be licensed in the state where the campground is located and in each state where activities are to take place. Medical professional requirements differ between government jurisdictions. It is the responsibility of the campground boards and camp directors to understand and follow all local and state requirements.
