I want to volunteer in a hospital but i dont know what they spacificly do.....


Answer
well i volunteer in a hospital on the weekends and I do things like bring water to patients, deliver wheel chairs and chart packs to nurses, offer food and beverages to visitors in the hospital, run the gift shop, play with kids in the pediatric unit, and do various tasks asked by the nurses. You wouldn't be cleaning bedpans or the patients or anything like that unless you are certified as a nursing assistant. As a voluteer you are somewhat a liability so you aren't allowed to do that much.
I'm only 16.. idk how old you are.. but some of the older volunteers at the hospitals knit hats for the newborn babies and things like that.. Hope that helps

Did you want people to visit you in the hospital after birth?

If yes, how long after? What type of gift did you like the best, if anything?


Answer
I have a now 7 month old son and I was induced so I was in the hospital all weekend. When I was in hard labor I hated having a million people around. Some didn't bother me but there were times when family was just crowded in. He was born at 1248 in the morning and my immediate family were the only ones waiting and that was nice. They checked on me and each held the baby for a second and then left us be for the night. The next day I was glad to have visitors.
