Nebraska Medicine: My Future Career And Volunteering

My nature to serve attracts me to the Houston Methodist Summer Teen Volunteer Program. My goals are to gain experience and knowledge about careers in medicine, and to give back to the community. I would like to learn a lot about how people live by the ways they get hurt or how they deal with being sick. It’s a good study of human behavior because you see people at their highest and lowest extremes of emotion. To further my goal of pursuing a career in medicine, it is important for me to get hands on experience of serving people and executing work in a responsible manner. When a person donates their time, they give hope to someone who needs it. I feel that I will be also benefited because I get to see how my contribution has made a difference.

Volunteering at Texas Health Presbyterian Plano is my way of giving back to the community while developing critical social skills, and gaining important medical field exposure along the way. It’s an opportunity to change a person’s life, including my own. I volunteered at two hospitals last summer and I’m well acquainted with what volunteering entails and would more than love to do it again. Through this hospital volunteer program, I hope to discover my own passions and talents, while also developing skills that I will utilize throughout my entire high school and college experience.

I would like to volunteer at Saint Joseph’s/Candler because I would like to help the people in the hospital. Because I want to become a doctor, I also want to become familiar with working with others in a hospital.

In my time volunteering at the hospital, I hope to gain many different experiences. However, there are a few main ones: adaptation through enrichment and dependability. First of all, I want to get to know and adapt to the environment of the hospital and learn how different processes work. This is a crucial part of being in the atmosphere of a clinic. Also, the experiences that I will have at the hospital will help me to understand the routines and entailments of the career I would like to pursue. I hope to become a Physician’s Assistant in the future and this will be the best way to know if it is the right position for me. This enrichment of my understanding will help guide my passion for this career path and hopefully strengthen it.

Cedars-Sinai is a place that offers a wide variety of opportunities to volunteer within health providing services. As a student that is driven to pursue a career in the health field in order to improve the service of patients, I am interested in aiding doctor, nurses, physician assistants, and more in providing the quality care that all patients should receive. Additionally, I am interested in participating in the amazing programs that Cedars-Sinai offers for students such the TCAB and the Pre-Healthcare Volunteer programs. If I have the opportunity to participate in these programs, I would ultimately be open to aid in a wide range of duties. I am fully committed to help, to volunteer, and to learn.

I have been volunteering at the University of Maryland Medical Center since the summer of my freshman year. As a volunteer at the Cardiac Surgery Intensive Care Unit at the hospital, I am committed to provide excellence in service, work independently and efficiently, and exhibit patient interaction skills. Ever since I have started volunteering at the hospital, I have learned to become more patient and understanding toward the people who I interact with, and consequently, I have become a more sympathetic and compassionate person.

Volunteering gives me the opportunity to be there for someone and to change people’s lives including my own. Volunteering to me is a way of giving back to the community or someone in need of help. For as long as I can remember I have always had the passion for helping people especially children and the aged, thus my interest in nursing. Any opportunity to perform an act of kindness made me happy that at least I could be of help to someone. From taking care of my siblings and cousins, babysitting, helping friends and among others. Of the many goals I have in life the most important one is to provide help to those in need through my commitment of service. I volunteered at a daycare school closer to me and

Hospital volunteers come in all shapes and sizes. High school students, college students, retirees, stay at home moms, clowns and even the four-legged variety can all be found volunteering at a local hospital.

According the the American Bureau of Labor Statistics, “...over 4.9 million Americans volunteered their time in a hospital or health-related organization [in 2011]” (Kendrick, “Sector Spotlight: Volunteer Management in Hospitals”). All those volunteers, also called Candy Stripers, made a positive change in their medical community and I was extremely honored to be one of those individuals. The ill stricken, misfortunate and even hospital staff need as much assistance as possible according to my experience. I encourage college students to take action and become hospital volunteers. When becoming a hospital volunteer, an individual will be able to assist nurses, support patients both physically and psychologically, provide funds to your local hospital and gain knowledge on how to serve the community positively in the future.

Being a volunteer at the UM Charles Regional Medical Center is a great way to give back your community and in a small way help society to become a better place. However, before you can become a full volunteer there are certain requirements that you will need to fulfil.

In my time at Southeast High School I have discovered the rewards of volunteering in my community. Volunteering provides the opportunity to gain new experiences and to meet members of my community that I would have otherwise ever had the opportunity to meet. My main motivation for applying to the Stephenson Cancer Center is to provide support to those going through the hardest time of their lives. Through my actions I hope to provide positivity and compassion. By being a part of the Teen Volunteer Program I want to aid patients going through the physical and emotional effects of their illness, by being helpful and understanding. During my time at the Stephenson Cancer center I hope gain a new perspective through the eyes of both the patients

As a recent graduate of the Johns Hopkins University and a new Research Technician at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, becoming more familiar with different healthcare settings and helping others in doing so have always been of my interest. From my experience of volunteering as a piano teacher for inner-city children in Baltimore, I have learnt that even a small commitment and emotional support can make a big difference in the daily lives and the happiness of those in need. I have briefly familiarized myself to the hospital environment by shadowing physicians and conducting biomedical research but have yet to translate my volunteering experiences and the lessons learnt from them to the healthcare setting. I am a friendly, optimistic,

This summer I would like to volunteer at Methodist Healthcare, because I think it would be a good opportunity for me to experience what it is like to be in the medical field. Volunteering would give me a chance to see what I would mostly likely be interested in doing as a career in the future. I would like to volunteer so I can gain more experience in the medical field, and it would give me a chance to meet other physicians and gain some knowledge or insight on how I should begin getting involved in healthcare. Also it would help me become more outgoing, and interactive with other people, and it would help me step out of my comfort zone when it comes to talking to people. It would give me a chance to meet other people who are interested in

I really want to be a volunteer at children hospital because since I was in 2nd grade I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do in the future then when Mr. Villarreal showed me that in UCLA it was one of the best experiences that he ever had. When I saw the doctor at UCLA many of them were the best known in Los Angeles especially when he would have described that in UCLA. Since I been to children hospital I realize that there is not that many people to help enough children that’s made me feel bad. Because in my experience when I was little I was interested in medical and trying to find ways to help people who are sick and need medical attention.

Since I had some professional volunteering experiences at the Mofid hospital back in my home country, I decided to continue and get more involved after moving to Texas as well. As I started taking classes in Collin College, I got to know many volunteering events
