It's been nearly two months since I started working . . . I mean, volunteering at the maternity ward in Kaiser Hospital. It's a great experience, of course. I love the people there. Sadly, I don't get to touch the babies. The volunteers are don't have the authority to do that. But we do get to take the pictures. We also have the job of wheeling the discharged mothers out, giving them gift bags and baby hats, organizing charts, and so on. It's the best volunteer job I've had yet! (Plus, the benefits are just as rewarding. Hehe . . .)
There are downsides as well. Not to sound petty, but I'm getting tired of the uniform-polo thing. Nearly my entire school career required uniform, and throughout my high school years, we've done the polo shirt. Kaiser volunteers are required to wear blue polo shirts with the Kaiser insignia and white pants. The only upside of the shirt is that it's not green. (I'm sure St. Vincent and St. Pat's kids would understand that remark.) The downside with the pants is that it's white. Pfft. Well, what can I say? I'm a girl.
Many more Kaiser volunteer blogs to come.
Uh, maybe not.
