4. Summarize the 10 hours of service you did.
Working in the ER is very interesting. At times it is busy and at other times it's really calm. Especially depending on the day I volunteer. Typically Saturday mornings are really calm. I perform a number of tasks in the ER such as running blood work or urine samples to the lab to be analyzed. Also, I restock all of the station supplies that the nurses or doctors use for the patients that come in. I sanitize some of the equipment and pretty much anywhere and everywhere there may be bacteria or dirt. I change the sheets on all of the station beds after the patients are gone and sanitize the bed and area around the bed as well. I also provide basic service to the patients that come in. I can bring them water or fetch the nurses for them; simple tasks like that.
