So I called the first meeting of camp nurses during ACA's 1990 national conference in Boston. Thirteen nurses attended. They decided to keep the Association going. Linda Erceg became president and a new Board was formed. The genesis of today's ACN was started.
Many readers still know the isolation when at camp as the only nurse.
That isolation has changed. Because nurses care, many are working to develop camp nursing practice. Today's ACN is the result of volunteer efforts to not only improve camp nursing practice but also help camps be healthy communities.
