My D was surprised at how long the process was to volunteer at a local hospital. Orientation offered infrequently, necessity of a TB test and week wait for results (and the hospital where my D volunteered required 2 clear TB tests, so it took twice as long). So if your D is planning on pursuing that route, have her begin contacting hospitals now to start the process.

FWIW, my D did not find hospital volunteering very rewarding or helpful. Four hours a week without a lot to do, but at least it was a medical floor. Some hospital volunteers are assigned the gift shop or information desk.
