Is there any particular requirements to become a candy-striper for a hospital?

Years ago, no there were no requirements.  They trained you on the job.  Now a days I believe they require you to attend a couple hours of instruction in order to "let you loose on the patients."  You need to know the things you are and are not allowed to do, such as fill up the water jug or not.  Someone may ask for water and not beable to have any because of surgery etc.....So, you must call your local hospital, ask to speak to someone who is in charge of candy stripers, that you would like to know what the job requirements are and would be interested in applying after you receive that information.  They will connect you................good luck........volunteer work is very self gratifying........you'll love it

try hospitals--does your area do candystriping or allow for volunteers in children's wards?\n\nI'm not sure what's around in your area, but perhaps behavior centers, nursing homes, etc. might help

She would have to be licensed in your state and also get "waived in" – granted temporary hospital privileges, which nurses don't actually have, since they work for specific hospitals. My brother, a cardiologist, was granted temporary privileges when I had open-heart surgery, but he's an MD and is licensed in my state (although his license is inactive, which only means he doesn't have to pay the registration fee) and the state in which he lives and works. The biggest problem is that hospital employees are covered by the instutition's malpractice insurance and that includes doctors who are granted temporary privileges. I don't think your friend would be covered — and that leads me to believe the hospital administration will not allow it.\n\nEVERY HOSPITAL HAS A PHLEBOTOMY TEAM. INSIST THAT THEY DO YOUR IVs and BLOOD DRAWING AND REFUSE TO ALLOW ANYONE ELSE. IF YOU GET ANY STATIC, GET ON THE PHONE AND CALL OR PAGE YOUR DOCTOR AND LET HIM KNOW. ALSO, ASK HIM TO WRITE ORDERS THAT THE PHLEBOTOMY TEAM BE MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU WHENEVER BLOOD IS TO BE DRAWN. Nurses don't like to do this, because it takes a while for the team to arrive, but remember — they work for you; you don't work for them! Don't be afraid to demand to see the floor Nursing Supervisor or the Chief Resident either.

Actually, the best thing would be to become a CNA or certified nursing assistant. Sometimes hospitals will take you and certify you there. You could also try being a PCA or personal care attendant. If you are interesting in going into nursing I would encourage you to get some hands on patient experience since it is usually a lot different than people expect. Stocking shelves is a lot different than draining urine from a catheter bag...you get what I mean? You might be better off getting a job at a Long Term Care facility or nursing home, they usually need more help than the hospitals. Go to your locate hospitals website and contact human resources.

A "sugary" nurse? Sounds like a "sweet" job

It's a little different in all states but generally, it takes a First Aid Cert. a CPR Cert. and at least a 6 month apprenticeship. Some states require you to be a registered nurse which means you must qualified surgical ops support.

Go visit any hospital's nursing station...and ASK.  The RN's will be happy to tell you. \nSure you'll need to learn how to draw blood and a lot of other euuuuuuie stuff.  But, unfortunately most RNs don't get to do enough of the 'hands-on' stuff, but are (as they'll voluntarily tell you) becoming 'pencil-pushers'; it's a known fact in the medical field that the Nurse's Assistant or the LPNs will have more contact with the patient.  But, only an RN can 'manage' a nurse's station.
