Volunteering @ Hospitals / Houston area / Advice

Published

Hi everyone,

I'm currently enrolled to North Harris for the fall semester. I am interested in perusing a nursing degree. I'd like to volunteer at a large and busy hospital until school starts so I can get a feel for the environment. I am changing career paths completely from information technology to health care. I've found that Northeast in Humble takes volunteers, but only from 8:30PM to 4:30PM, Mon-Fri... does anyone know if there is anywhere else I may be able to find an opportunity? Has anyone else found volunteering jobs with erratic hours? Maybe later hours? I work 7AM to 3PM. I'd really like to do this until the new semester starts.

Thanks :)

Hi redefinition,

What side of town are you on? Memorial Hermann seems to be fairly easy to get in contact with for volunteering, at least Woodlands Hospital did anyway. I followed this link: http://www.memorialhermann.org/services/volunteer.html and it led me to a phone number and name. I called and he's sending me an application and he said there is an orientation next Sunday I think.
