Hi there, the hospital I volunteer at is offering two new positions that seem interesting.
1) A general volunteer in a nursing unit that focuses on high acute pulmonary programs, generally tends to be very busy. It's a little unclear what exactly I would be doing in this role, and I am not sure if I will directly engage with patients in any way due to liability / privacy. However, to be in an intense environment like this does sound like a particularly interesting role.
2) The second role visits patients rooms and gets info regarding their preferred name, and ask questions to make their stay more personalized.
My initial intuition tells me that the first role would be "better" and stronger clinical experience, but a part of me wonders if the second role would be strong since it involves directly engaged with patients, albeit likely not in a direct patient care manner.
Thoughts?
