Having Your Own Halloween Nurse


Defined Tag: Halloween Nurse.
When Halloween rolls around, we all think about the candy, the costumes, and the parties. While all of it is meant to be great fun, chances are someone will receive some sort of minor injury or find themselves slightly ill from too much candy.  In recent years, ambitious party givers have added a new twist to the festivities -- a Halloween nurse.Charged with seeing to the well being of all who attend the party, the Halloween nurse will be someone who is ready to jump in if a knee is scraped or someone takes too big a bite of a caramel apple. In the case of the adults, the Halloween nurse also is given powers of intervention that allow him or her to determine someone has had enough to drink and is now cut off from having any more of those fancy drinks in those cute little pumpkin glasses. The Halloween nurse has such far-reaching powers for two reasons.  First, a nurse is to protect the health of his or her charges. Second, in an age with people think nothing of litigating, the host is well advised to make sure no one under his roof is adversely affected physically from anything that happens at the party.
Finding a Halloween nurse for your next party can be done in several different ways. Chances are there is a local nurse's association in your community. Contact them and see what they can do to help you find a nurse who is off duty that night and would be willing to take care of everyone. While speaking with the local association, you also can get an idea for the average rate per hour for nurses in your area, which will help you set your price offering for the job.

If the local nurse's association does not pan out, try your local hospital. The administrator may allow you to post an ad on a bulletin board frequently viewed by the nurses. You can interview anyone who approaches you about the job and discuss payment and other key elements of the evening's work.

Don't forget your local hospice as potential resources. Many highly qualified nurses are opting for working in the home and hospice care environment these days.  Many hospice services would consider publicizing your project to their nurses as one way of also introducing their services to you, in hopes that you will recommend them in the future.

Your own Halloween nurse is a great idea for your next party. You can be assured your guests are fully provided for, and that if you find yourself getting a little queasy, there is a professional right there to get you back to enjoying the party.
