Volunteering as a student nurse

Rating:
(votes: 0)


Tomorrow is my first day volunteering as a student nurse in a downtown hospital. I took a tour a few weeks ago and it is crazy!! Does anyone have any words of wisdom to share with me? I cannot do any sort of patient care but I don't want to get in anybody's way answering call lights!
I'm volunteering too. It can be slightly frustrating because everytime I come I ask what can I do to help, but everyone is so busy they seem like they don't even want to be bothered by me. It's like hello, I'm here to help!

It depends what dept you are volunteering at. When I was a student I was in the ER. I helped turn around rooms. Sticking, cleaning, taking warm blankets to patients when staff asked, etc. it was a huge help to them.
