I like how flexible the child life team can be towards their volunteers! I also love being able to see different kids each week and getting to hang out to do fun activities with them.
What I wish was different

Advice
Ask questions! The nurses are very helpful and they are given more information about the kids so they can help you find the right activities to bring to them.

I love working with the babies (I work in the neonatal ICU), the nursing staff, NNPs, and physicians are very friendly and more than willing to teach you things along the way and explain things.

Nights are difficult while in school. If you're in school, it's ideal to find a unit that has self-scheduling, but it isn't impossible to have a core schedule.
