In 2008 I volunteered at Sutter Solano Medical Center in the
ER. Working in the ER I learned a lot of different things and skills that would
help me further in life. Some of the duties that I enjoyed were stocking the
rooms up with supplies, interacting with the patience, and filing ambulance
slips. The part of my duties that I really
a hated was that if a patience was to pass way I would have to go in the room
and collet all of their belongings and sometimes touch them if their wallets
were on their person. The primary jobs that I would have to do on a day to day basics
was to stock the rooms, make sure patient was ok and giving them very
lucid answers to when the doctor was
coming in, ambulance invoice, and restock the stock room. Some skills that I had
developed during this volunteer work were communication, invoices, and filing paperwork.
A lesson I learned during this work was that you can’t work on your own time,
not only your manager is watching you and evaluating you, and timeliness. Some
lessons that I learned about myself is that I am a fast learner, I work well
with others, and I pick up on things without even knowing. Overall I had a very
good experience volunteering here and had fun doing so.
