Alright, so I currently have 200 hrs volunteering at a local hospital (closing in on a year now). I'm also about to start at my local university medical center in a week or so for a more diverse experience. Most of my hours are at the ED. I sit by the triage nurses and techs and I room patients and wheel them around. So, I believe it's safe to assume that it counts as clinical hours (correct me if I'm wrong). I was planning on getting a scribing job for even more clinical experience because I thought that schools would probably value that kind of experience over something as simple as what I do volunteering. So, my issue is, I had to push my test back to march and as a result, I think I would really be pushing it close and would therefore not get the chance to add that experience to my application. Am I exaggerating thinking this way or do schools really want to see that kind of clinical experience over something like clinical volunteering positions?
Thanks in advance!
