Just curious about what everyone is planning to do volunteering-wise now that school is about to start. Or what volunteering you plan to continue?

Phlebotomist at free clinic 👍

 

[Toastayy]

Since this is the last week of my research internship (woo hoo) i'm currently looking for shadowing opportunities (if anyone knows a good place in NY, don't be shy), and move my volunteerism from a hospital (where I do barely nothing) to a free clinic (where I hopefully get a lil bit more to do).

Gonna share your plans too OP?

I'm finishing up the last week or two of a summer spent volunteering in the autopsy suite in a hospital. 😀

I'm on summer vacation right now, and I'm hoping to talk to my old pediatrician and see if I can get a weekly thing going where I can shadow him for a few hours a week during school.

I plan on starting volunteering at the hospital by my school, but I'd like to do something a little more creative. I would really enjoy volunteering w/ children with disabilities... We'll see. But I'm also going to be a special volunteer at NCI in October. I wish there was more time in the week! Lol. 🙄

 

[Stumpyman]

Tutoring and volunteering at a Children's hospital.

Any suggestions on volunteering while working full time? After work I seriously just want to sleep.

I'm doing full time school PLUS working 25 hrs/week. So I'm in the same boat! My options are pretty much limited to Saturdays. I know my local hospital has volunteering hours on Saturdays, along with a lot of other opportunities, like animal shelters, soup kitchens, etc.

I used to volunteer at a free clinic because I had a half day during the week but no more and that clinic doesn't work on weekends. I think I will go with some homeless shelter. Maybe they are open at night or on weekends. Still waiting to hear some cool ideas on this.

i hear ya as well. school full-time, working 20 hours a week, and i'm a Patient Advocate Volunteer at our local hospital for about 2 hours a week, and then i also volunteer in their gift shop for another 4 hours a week.

(did i do this "quote" thing right? haha i haven't had much experience with message boards since i was a lot younger.)

 

[Telekinesis]

One of these:

Surgery CCU

Emergency Services in Bryan or College Station

Surgical Prep

Cath lab

Patient Transporter


Not sure which one I can do yet.

I volunteer with kids at the local homeless shelter and at a preschool. I was working at a free clinic, but I need to find something else. (I loved the experiences with the patients, but ultimately feel they have too many volunteers. I spent a lot of time sitting around, doing nothing.) I'm hoping to work with developmental disabled kids or at a hospital.

I feel bad that I slacked off on volunteering this summer. It's something I love to do, but I just came home exhausted every day after work. It's rather pathetic.

 

[MartletMD]

Definitely will be applying to join my school's volunteer first aid squad... Watch out! 😉 Probably going to apply to volunteer at a local hospital, hopefully some lab volunteering as well second semester to make connections.

 

[tn4596]

5 hrs/week at a free clinic and 2-3 hrs/wk at the hospital doing who knows what 😎

[6essful]

I'm seeing a LOT of clinical volunteering... Which is awesome!

Anyone have any non clinical volunteering they'd like to share?
