Should I bring bandaids, cough drops and aspirin, or can I depend on the nurse for that?
The nurse on our tour is there to determine if a medical issue is serious, requiring a trip to a doctor or hospital, or if it can be treated on the spot.
Because of this, you are responsible for bringing any items that you might need: Bandaids, cough drops, aspirin/tylenol/ibuprofen, etc. That way, if you need something, you will have it with you, and won’t have to find the nurse.
Also – since the nurse a volunteer (not paid), they will be (hopefully) enjoying the tour as a participant, so it’s unfair to expect the nurse to carry enough supplies for the entire tour.
The nurse will have a small amount items, just in case, but it is YOUR responsibility to have a small supply of your own.
