Nursing Volunteer Program

Share this

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the need to limit individuals coming into the hospital, all volunteer programs at UCLA Health are currently on pause until further notice. 

Welcome Prospective Volunteer!

The UCLA Department of Nursing Volunteer Program provides pre-nursing students, nursing students, and community members, opportunities to be trained to assist medical center patients and staff. For students, this is a great opportunity to be exposed to the hospital environment and to healthcare from a clinical perspective.

"Caring for others, begins with U!"

When you choose to volunteer with the nursing department, you are choosing to show how much U care about others. For many patients, young and old, being in the hospital can be a very overwhelming experience. As a volunteer, U can make a difference. Nursing Volunteers will provide companionship to patients, help greet patients and visitors in the units, and assist nursing staff. Volunteers will also have an opportunity to participate in both patient care activities and non-nursing duties. Your presence helps promote a culture of safety and helps provide patients with feelings of comfort and security during their time in the hospital.
