Can I volunteer at a nursing home and shadow a nurse.

[jgg765]

Hi Folks,

I am thinking about going back to school to be a nurse.

However, before I spend all the time and effort.

I would like to make sure it is something I enjoy.

How do I go about asking to volunteer and watch the nurses.

I liked the folks at the nursing home that used to take care of my grandfather. How does one approach this situation who do I speak to the Health Care Manager?

I am friends with one of the nursing assitants should I talk to him

You could talk to your friend and get the name of the DON (director of nursing.) Then call him/her and explain what you want to do.

Good luck! :)
