Hi, I'm going to be volunteering at a senior home soon:little sisters of the poor website: http://www.littlesistersofthepoor.org/. I was wondering if this would count as clinical experience. Will I have to do something specific there or anything (ex: cooking)? If anyone could post a link dictating the guidelines for a job/volunteering oppurtunity to qualify as clinical experience I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Bump! Let me rephrase the question, does volunteering at senior homes qualify as clinical experience?

Well, unless you're operating as a provider, say, at the CNA level (which is what most senior homes employ, besides a few nurses and the occasional doc) I doubt it would count as clinical experience. It would certainly count as volunteer time.
