Summer Family Fun Ideas for Nurses

For nurses who make their living in the US, it’s no secret that the current economic conditions will make it difficult for families to stretch their entertainment dollars this summer. 

People will think twice about leaving home for that trip to the beach or to the mountains, and rising costs on most goods and services related to summer activities are putting a limit on what people are willing to spend when they take time-off.

One of the biggest challenges is finding fun AND inexpensive activities to do as a family.  For those that want to make the most of their vacation and their vacation pay, here are a few ideas that may help:

Family movie night:  During a warm summer night, many families traditionally turn to the local movie theater for “cool” entertainment.  However, between the high-cost of tickets and the expensive (and usually mediocre) movie-food fare, even the movies are no bargain.  A better option is to rent a movie and turn your living room into a movie theater.  Spread blankets and pillows out on the floor, make your own popcorn and snacks (they’ll be healthier than what you get at the MegaPlex), pick a formal starting time (“the movie begins at 7pm”), dim the lights, and make an event out of it!
