Say you volunteered in a hospital but in three different places: ER, ICU, and OR. Would you lump these all together on AMCAS or put them as three separate experiences?

What's the time span and hours per week for each?

What's the time span and hours per week for each?

ER=2 years (8 hr/wk)
ICU= 9 months (8 hr/wk)
OR=4 months (8 hr/wk)

So separate or lumped into one category??

Were they one after another? I did like 4 months for transport then after that a couple of months in the ER. I'm definitely just putting it under 'hospital volunteering'. You can distinguish the different types in the text box..

Yes, one after another

Yes, one after another

Then I'd lump them together

Depends on your overall experience and duties. Being a bed/linen changer and restocker in the ER is not the same as being a circulating nurse in the OR or a telemetry nurse in the ICU.

If you can write two different, compelling small essays about them, then they're separate experiences.

Otherwise, lump and delineate.
