Why do I have to complete this form and have a prescriber sign for an over-the-counter medication?

  • In keeping with the Camp nursing best practices, this form helps ensure the safety of your camper, efficiency of our camper medical review, and the daily care of your child.
  • To ensure the safety of all trainees, all medications are kept under control of licensed nurses and are administered by licensed nurses. Licensed nurses are authorized to dispense medications under the orders of a licensed prescriber.
  • Please make sure the over-the-counter medication you bring matches the medication and dosage authorized by the prescriber.
