Can I do my homework while volunteering? It is suggested that volunteers in certain departments bring a book to read discreetly during “down times”. However, we do not encourage you to bring homework or other work that would bring your attention away from assisting staff or guests.
Can I be involved in patient discharge?
Do you have volunteer positions in the pharmacy? Unfortunately, not at this time.
Will I be involved in direct patient care? Volunteers work to assist staff as the staff members directly care for patients. While you may interact with patients and guests in your volunteer role, you will not provide any direct care measures. How long will you hold my volunteer application? Applications are maintained for one year. If after one year the individual has not progressed in the process of becoming a volunteer the application is deleted from our system or shredded. You do not need to submit more than one application unless a year has lapsed since your last submission. You also do not need to submit a new application if you move from junior to adult volunteer status. Is your volunteer program the same as North Memorial’s? Our volunteer program is a separate entity from North Memorial. For more information on volunteer opportunities at North Memorial, please visit www.northmemorial.com/volunteer/.
