Medication Management
Managing medications at camp is regulated by each state, and is impacted by Pharmacy Regulations, state Boards of Nursing and regulations that govern camps.
When nursing services enter the medical arena of healthcare (to include medication management) nurses must practice under the direction of a licensed prescriber (MD or Advanced Practice RN.)
Find clarification on the role of various Healthcare Providers at camp, and how different credentials (RN, EMT, MD, student nurse) can fit into camp healthcare.
