Summertime means hot weather and student volunteers for many hospitals.
At Mayo Clinic in Phoenix and Scottsdale, Arizona, nearly 40 volunteers in high school and college attended a training day on June 3rd. Students will volunteer one day per week through the months of June and July. They will be volunteering in patient and non-patient care areas escorting patients, providing amenities (who doesn’t love a warm blanket when you’re not feeling well!) and restocking important medical supplies. Students will also attend a Simulation Nursing Skills lab where they will learn to administer CPR, insert an I.V. and intubate a patient on mannequins.
