My hospital volunteering experience in the stroke unit (2017)

[@thinkvibrant5721]

Thank you for making this! I’m not too great at speaking because I get really nervous but this is genuinely helping!

I agree. I volunteer for 3 hours in the Medical Intensive Care Unit, and after restocking linens, I usually have nothing to do. Sometimes I help the NAs clean rooms and stuff but for the most part it's boring as heck and it feels like a waste of time (even if it isnt). Also I agree that some of the nurses don't seem to give a shit about their patients, calling them things like "turd" when they're talking amongst themselves. I guess the one plus is when nurses retire and what not they bring cake or cookies to their break room and every now and then I like to sneak in there and grab something for myself.

[@melissaslifeee5575]

I have orientation on March 21st at 5:00 to 9:00pm but I have to be there at 4:30 and knowing me I might get lost :( so I am going at 4 to I can find my way . I want to be a pediatric surgeon! So I am all in it but nervous

[@name1044]

He probably was confused and that’s why he was asking for help. Nurses are trained and you should listen to them

Thank you Sabin this was a very helpful video. I wonder where you're at now? Did you pursue the medical field or do something else instead.

[@sabintee9232]

Hey! Glad I could be of some help! Life is crazy!! I ended up going through really bad depression for a few years and dropped out of school. I took over a year to figure myself out, changed my major, and started a pet care business!! I’ve got so many plans, and one of them includes getting back on KZbin to share my journey and what I’ve learned. I would love it if you gave my future videos a watch!! Thank you for checking and commenting!

Hey, man pretty soon I​ am gonna start volunteering in the hospital so I had this question in a mind which is about the job. I know they don't pay you but do get training on your first day or do they teach u what to do?

[@sabintee9232]

yash patel they teach you but honestly most of it is really easy specially if you’re not working the desk. When I worked the ER desk I was getting taught by a old man who didn’t know how to do half the things on the computer so I had to figure it out but the other stuff is super easy. Good Luck!

[@yashpatel-bo3bo]

Thanks, man glad you replied. Hope you have a great day.

[@DrCarr-nb1tf]

you are attractive, but I'm sure you know that....

[@Godisgood-of1st]

Hey bro you should be a urgent care nurse

[@selenap5353]

Was part of your job talking to patients?

[@KrakenBoot]

Orientation next week

[@bridgetbacker]

I’m about to be a volunteer, what do I wear while I am working there? Scrubs? Leggings?

[@sabintee9232]

You should ask them what the dress code is for volunteers. They usually give a polo with the hospital logo or something along those lines.

[@yeppy013]

So did you enjoy volunteering? Any dislikes or likes especially?

[@sabintee9232]

Yeppy 01 so I’m finishing my last 4 hours that I committed to them this week. Over all I liked the experience. I think the best part of it all was when I would help a patient and they seemed to genuinely appreciate what we did as volunteers and I was happy with going above and beyond what the hospital asked me to do. The worst part was some...a lot of the nurses where all nice to me BUT a a lot of them where straight up assholes to patients and specially to the family members of patients. Because of that i actually decided that I don’t want to be a nurse. I could never work with people like that

[@yeppy013]

Sabin Tee thanks for the comments. So what are your options now since you no longer want to purse nursing?

[@sabintee9232]

Yeppy 01 you might think I’m crazy but I’m one of those people who like animals more then I like people. Iv been working with animals for a little over s year now and I decided that I want to be a vet. Soooo much work but I think it’s worth it

[@allisongilbert7051]

Great video and perspective!! Thank you!
