Hi! I have been volunteering in OHSU's NICU for over a year now and I LOVE it! I currently volunteer twice a week and I love the time that I get to spend holding the babies. I applied to volunteer online but did not hear back from the volunteer coordinator for several months. I called to check on the status of my ap and was told (to my surprise) that it could not be located. I decided to show up to the volunteer office in person finally and filled out a paper version of the ap right there. It was a perfect opportunity to make my face know to the people in charge. I guess that my best advice is to SHOW UP IN PERSON! Openings for the NICU do not come often, so taking the initiative is worth the effort.
