A question about volunteering

OK. So all of youhave been so kind to answer my previous question. I look forward to a time when I can offer some advice instead of continually asking.


My question is about volunteer hours. Obviously as an RN I have a LOT of pt contact hours each week. I also volunteer occasionally with a pregnancy resource center for unplanned pregnancys (as an RN) My husband is a pilot in the air force and I do volunteer time with different projects run by the officers spouses group. Do I need to increase my pt contact hours of volunteering? Or since I have so much pt contact does my volunteer time with OSG count? I would like to add in some physician shadowing also. Please keep in mind, I do not plan on applying for 3 yrs. (the yr my husband retires from the Air Force)So I have time to add up hrs, I just want to make sure I’m earning the “right kind” of volunteer time.


Thank you in advance for your input :0)

Hi


I think your patient contact hours are just fine. I would focus on volunteering in a capacity that you truly believe in and that if you were asked about it in an interview, you would be able to speak about it passionately.


Hope that helps.
