Camp RAD was a very unique and rewarding experience and I think it will be hard to find another experience like it . It was great to see the kids' confidence increase as they learned how to control their asthma. I know I would not have understood why and how we did things. Watching the whole process of camp made the research aspect come alive. Watching these campers take the knowledge they have learned about managing their asthma and incorporate it into their daily lives is very rewarding.
Every nurse wants to make a difference.
Having the opportunity to see these campers at a later date, to learn from them that they have had a good year managing their asthma makes all the hard work worthwhile.
