Teens in Nursing
Congratulations to this aspiring group of young volunteers interested in careers as nurses or nurse’s aides. They graduated from our Teens in Nursing program after attending lectures and helping our staff with patient care. The program also prepares them for the nursing assistant exam.
“The most important aspect of my experience is being able to spend quality time with the patient. I have found that simply listening is greatly appreciated, and sometimes that is the most important thing to them. Not only being around the patient but their families has given me the chance to be a more well-rounded individual.”
"I became interested in volunteering after my grandfather received hospice services from Hospice of the Valley. The care provided is one of a kind. My experiences as a Teens in Nursing student have been valuable and have taught me how to organize and prioritize patient care needs, and the value of working as a team."
