A Las Vegas-born registered nurse (RN) is stepping into a pivotal role at this year’s Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) medical tent, marking a personal milestone since graduating nursing school. Though she wasn’t fully connected to the 2019 festival’s music lineup, this time she’s excited to contribute behind the scenes, supporting attendees’ health and safety throughout the event.
Her experience at EDC is set to bolster her resume for future critical care positions. She’s especially prepared to assist festivalgoers in need of Narcan or a moment to recover from heat or exhaustion.
The announcement triggered heartfelt discussion on r/electricdaisycarnival, with local nurses eager to learn about medical staffing and fans expressing deep gratitude for the staff who keep the festival safe. Many encouraged her to document the experience, offering fans a rare window into the essential work done by EDC’s Health & Safety Team.
EDC emphasizes attendee well-being with free, no-questions-asked medical services available across the event grounds. Medical tents and stations are marked by water droplet icons on festival maps—also indicating hydration refill points. This setup ensures swift care for issues ranging from dehydration and nausea to more serious emergencies.
In recent years, providers like Community Ambulance have scaled up staffing and resources to meet the demands of the 170,000-strong EDC crowd at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, balancing event coverage with citywide emergency services. Their coordinated approach helps keep local hospitals from being overwhelmed and maximizes on-site care delivery.
This talented nurse’s journey spotlights the often-unsung heroes who work tirelessly to keep EDC safe, allowing festivalgoers to lose themselves in the music with peace of mind.
