The average amount of time it takes for individuals to complete the requirements is 4 weeks, however, individuals can complete the requirements within 1-2 weeks if they have the motivation to do so.
For legal, risk, and compliance reasons, volunteers are not able to provide clinical assistance to patients (starting IV's, wound care, taking vitals, taking notes or scribe, etc.), regardless of any clinical licenses (MD, RN, NP, PA, MA, LVN, state board certificates, etc.). The role of a volunteer is non-clinical, assisting ancillary support to patients and families. Volunteer hours will not qualify as clinical hours.
