Kaiser Volunteering / Nurse Shadowing: The Third Session (#1)

Today was our last day here volunteering at Kaiser hospital. Today we volunteer for 5 1/2 hours. I was kinda of sad because i knew i would miss the staff that Christina and I bonded with while at the hospital but i knew we would be able to come back whenever because they liked our company. Once again all the nurses and our mentors brought food for everyone to enjoy while we were waiting for patients to be sent to the PACU. It was kind of a slow night compared to the last time we volunteered. Today our mentors brought us to where all the medical tools and gear are stored. I was surprised how much tools that they actually go through in a day. There is also a special routine on how they sterilize some of the tools but most of the other things they use are disposable for sanitary reasons. Without these tools and supplies they would not be able to perform anything or assist a patient at all.
