try looking in your local newspapers or telephone dirctories for the local Red Cross office number. get in touch wid them n c what tehy can do for you. OR alternatively.. the Rotary International is an amazing organisation too.Try contacting any member of your local Rotary Club.They're pretty easy to get in touch wid. and ask them if they would be interested in helping you out. Or if they cant, ask if they know how to get in touch wid teh Red Cross.

There is a big double standard between the Reserve and Active component in the Army but we are working on that.\n\nThe red cross is not part of the government so they make their own rules so I don't know why they couldn't help you.\n\nThat is the main down side to the reserve component, once you are back from deployment you have to get a job, but that is kinda the point of the reserves.

The American Red Cross was established on May 21, 1881 by Clara Barton, who became the first president of the organization. Barton first organized a meeting on May 12 of that year at the home of Sen. Omar D. Conger (R, MI). Fifteen were present at this first meeting, including Barton, Conger, and Rep. William Lawrence (R, OH) (who became the first vice-president) \n\nFor more information visit the source link below

From what I know about it, it's a hard and tough job. I told my mom I wanted to go into the social sciences field when I get into college and she said that I could NEVER EVER become a social worker. I applaud them for their work, though, and too bad they can't be paid more than those professional atheletes.

We had a major fire in our home. A Red Cross worker was at our house within an hour, they put us in a local motel for 3 days, paid for meals (for 5 people) for 7 days, paid for clothes and shoes for everyone, bought new beds (one full and 2 twins) and two clothes dressers, bought new sheets, towels, pillows and quilts. They also brought food for our place when we moved. They gave the baby then 10 years old a stuffed animal which she carried to school and slept with.

yes! I get to save childrens lives. I am a social worker and I get to protect children from violent situations and place them in safe homes. It is a very rewarding job and I get to work from home!

You can join United Nations Volunteer (UNV) http://www.unv.org/ - you do a good deed PLUS you get decent pay. It has the best compensation package for volunteers. Be prepared to be assigned to "hardship areas"

I believe the "RED CROSS" is the most humanitarian non profit organization in the world.\nIt works in every country supplying food and care every day.\nIt works in every country on a moments notice to respond to public and natural disasters. The Red Cross teams are always the first organized group on the scene actively helping. They hand  food and fresh water to the people within hours and supply medical aid funded by regular citizens like us.\nI have no doubt they are the best and most effective.\nI have no problems donating to the Canadian Red Cross when called upon to do so. They work because they care and want to do Gods' work.\nCheers!

Absolutely. Humanitarian work is so important and so worthwhile. That is an awesome idea, but I doubt many employers would be into it. They aren't going to want to pay you for doing work for someone else besides them.

i started out in the registration department when i first entered the hospital field. It's an easy job and the shifts aren't bad-basic requirements are good customer service skills and basic computer knowledge-having some medical terminology background is good too but not required. job involves interviewing patients that are being treated in the hospital. either in the pre-surgery area where patients check in prior to surgery or in the emergency room.\n\na cna is a good job as well since you have to have your cna classes taken before entering the nursing program-all hospitals need cnas.\n\nsome hospitals have a program where you can shadow a registered nurse and get paid for it. the hospital i work in has it-the official title here is a nurse extern. the requirement for this position is that you already have to be enrolled into an RN program in college. they allow you to do everything a registered nurse does under the supervision of a licensed nurse. check with your local hospital to see if they have the program.\n\ntransport is another option but if you want to be a nurse-you won't pick up much learning experience nurse-wise in this position. it mostly involves transporting patients from their room to a test, transferring patients from one floor to another or assisting patients to their cars upon discharge.\n\ni worked in registration for about 4 years then transferred to the cna job-which i enjoyed b/c i'm in trauma icu and i learned ALOT. now as a nurse extern-i get to take care of my patients and cannot wait until i graduate and have my license!!\n\napplying is fairly simple-just go into the human resources department at the hospital of your choice and ask to see the list of job openings. most places will have the job along with the requirements,type of shift (day,nite..8 hours or 12 hour shifts), and the requirements listed. some hospitals will also have websites where you can look up the job listings-just google the name of a hospital in your area and the website should come up-once there find the link for employment opportunites or careers.\n good luck to you!!
