Volunteers

[escapebigd]

I posted this in the Pre nursing student forum but after no response thought I'd try general nursing :)

So I just went through a long application process to become a volunteer at Methodist Hospital in Dallas. Since I'm a CNA I figured after 6 months or so I might apply for a position there. I also thought it would look good on my resume, and good when I apply to nursing school.

Has anyone else volunteered with a hospital? Why did you choose to volunteer? Did you get what you wanted out of volunteering?

And if anyone just wants to talk about their experiences from volunteering thats great too!

I just got my schedule and I'm so excited I get to be in the OR helping set the equipment up, and assisting the techs and even get to see surgeries :) I never thought I would be this excited about volunteering.

That is awesome! Volunteering does allow you to do lots of things even though you don't get paid. People will appreciate your help so much!
