March Post

So all of March I did the same thing I would do at my mentorship, help out in the nurse's station, file papers, and walk around and make sure if any of the patients are in need of help. I started to do my independent component 2 at my mentorship and today the blood dive committee had a meeting with Thomas the blood dive coriander and just gave us information about the blood dive and rules for people to donate blood. But starting next month (hopefully) at my mentorship they will start this whole new system for the volunteers where they interact with the nurses more and the volunteers will start training soon with our instructor. And we get to be trained on transporting patients to the day room for lunch, how to feed them, and clear meal trays after hospital staff has recorded % eaten.
