Remember on the first day i was taking the D train to West 4 Street i was so Nervous ,Worry and Excited .Worry about i will do something wrong , Excited about I'm gonna working at a hospital ! At 12:30PM we go in to the Volunteer Department to meet my internship mentor Ms.cusack she help us to get a Volunteer ID card and bring us to the place that we going to work . First we went to meet my Nursing Contact Barbara Woods then we meet all the nurse and they tell us to go to each room put some ice water for the patient.After that we just sit there for 2 hours (So boring) ! Then on Wednesday and Thursday we talk to doctor's they all tell us to Study Hard !! and we went to talk to a patient!!

On Thursday we tell our mentor we have nothing to do in there sit there for two hours , she were sad and doesn't want us to sit there for two hours so she call an other nursing building ask if they have a lot work for us to do .Monday new assignment for me !
