Healthcare Positions

Wisconsin Lions Camp hires nursing assistants, Graduate Nurses (GNs), RNs, and LPNs to staff our summer medical facility.  The nursing assistant and GN positions are a 12 week summer live in opportunity that provide a wealth of outpatient pediatric experience for nursing students and new nurses to learn and work with adults and children with disabilities.  With 130-160 new campers each week, many of whom require medication and special medical treatments, the need for highly qualified, skilled nurses is also great.  RNs and LPNs may work for a week and stay on site or work various shifts with flexible scheduling if they live locally.
