Total Hours of Volunteering: 48 Hours @ NOLA construction + 36 Hours @ Tulane Medical Center = 84 Hours
When I wasn't frantically/lazily studying drugs and their mechanisms, I was helping Habitat build houses and the nurses of the Neuro ICU with patient care (at Tulane Med Center). I enjoyed both settings despite the stark contrast: unfinished, dirty, dusty house sites versus complete, bright, clean hospital unit. The greatest benefits I reaped were the knowledge and experience: nothing really compares with going on-site and stumbling over my own ineptitude, then correcting myself.
Happy Holidays!
