There are many volunteer positions at the University of Minnesota Medical Center, Fairview. My position is called a Patient Visitor. While a very easy and rewarding position, it is not difficult or complex. You visit patients. Plain and simple. Simply perfect.
Patients request visitors, and you get a list of these patients at the beginning of your shift. You can then go around to these patients' rooms and visit with them. I tend to stick to the pediatric floors. On these floors, you see patients from ages 0-18 (my favorite!) I get to play games with 7 year old princesses, rock 30 day old babies to sleep, and chat with 16-year-olds about their brand-new prom dress. It's perfect.
