Volunteer Doctors without Borders

[melissacarey]

Hi,

I will graduate in December and I'm interested in volunteering with Doctors without Borders. But I am interested in working in pediatrics. Does that hinder my chances of getting a volunteer position as a nurse since I will specialize in peds? Thanks,

Melissa.

I don't care much about the delivery -- I am just happy to see abjure used in a sentence!

OP mentions plans to specialize in pediatrics, so perhaps she is planning to get experience prior to applying and just wants to make sure it's the right experience? Nothing in the post states that she intends to apply as a new grad. No worries telling it like you see it, but you're also not reading closely.

I haven't figured out how to quote from two posts at a time, so I hope this comes out OK. Upon rereading the OP I don't see it specified one way or the other. I take your point that it could be read either way.
