Community service in hospital?

Question

When doing community service in a hospital, what do they usually make you do?

Answer 1

they can make you pick up patients to be admitted or discharged, send specimens to the laboratory, send paper works or charts from one unit to another.  its a very light work but worthwhile.

Answer 2

That would depend on each hospital policy.  Your best bet would be to contact the hospital that you would like to volunteer at.

Answer 3

I was a volunteer coordinator in a hospital and I usually had people doing community service to work downstairs in the laundry.  It was hot and hard work.  I gave the other jobs like running specimens, rocking babies, passing out magazines,sandwiches,or coffee in waiting rooms,transporting patients,etc.  to people who genuinely wanted to be there for a rewarding experience or to students who needed patient contact.
