Quick Question:
After searching for clinical volunteer opportunities for several months, I was finally able orientation for a volunteer position at one of the hospitals in my area. However, due to my schedule (only available early mornings/after 5pm/weekends), I learned that I would only be able to work at the children's hospital with the patients in the playroom. Is this a worthwhile opportunity? I was hoping to find a position in the ER but was informed that spots do not open up often and the next available opening wouldn't be for another 7+ months.
A little background: I graduated undergrad in Public Health last year and now work full-time (9-5). I will begin a post-bacc (taking evening classes) in January. Originally, the plan was to use this time before I start classes to shadow and volunteer in the healthcare field to gain more exposure; my schedule has made it a little more difficult.
Thanks!!
