My days at Newton Wellesley Hospital generally consisted of getting into my uniform, going to the Nutrition Office, and doing whatever trivial tasks needed to be done, such as supplementing each patient menu with the correct inserts, organizing paperwork, making sure everyone had signed required ...

It depends on what you want out of your volunteer experience. I only volunteered for two days a week. Every day was a little different depending on how busy the SLPs were. I'd often help set up patient technology, such as AAC devices, to make them more personable and user friendly. I'd help to ad...

One of the parts of the interview involves talking about your knowledge with the Spanish language. A lot of volunteers don't speak Spanish fluently, but are motivated and excited to learn in country.

I think my studies in psychology have greatly prepared me for the volunteering at the State Hospital. Even more specifically, I think my abnormal psychology class has greatly contributed to my preparation and understanding. All of the students have a reason for being admitted to the Utah State Ho...

How I prepared was acquiring the application and going through the requirements to see if I fulfilled them. The first thing was a GPA requirement, preparation for that including doing well in high school. I took AP classes and made sure I had honest communication with my teachers concerning my gr...

A day in the life of a volunteer with Doctors & Lawyers for Kids involves returning phone calls of individuals seeking services, determining if someone is eligible for services, and completing intake paperwork with new clients. When I volunteered, they were implementing a new system to help flag ...

Willow really values their musicians knowing the song and what the song needs. One of the worst things you could do is overplay, because it can distract the moment.You should know the song exactly how it is on the record before you add anything of your own.

Patient Escorts are either paid employees or volunteers at MSKCC. I am unsure about the pay of an employed Patient Escort. However, I can speak for a volunteer Patient Escort.
