My goals were to complete the hours due and to learn new things about the hospital and to achieve them, I tried not to miss any day of internship but I missed a day so I worked extra hours. I tried my best when I was in Patient Transport to do everything that I had to do. The most important things I learned are how to carry a patient and how to be patient with them. My Mentor thought us about how to be punctual, how to be responsible and to ask questions whenever we don't understand something.
Working at the hospital makes me feel like I can be responsible doing serious things on my own without having someone to help me. The challenges that I overcome were with some patients who couldn’t show respect to a volunteer and couldn’t think about how helpful volunteering was for a hospital. If I had to start internship next week I would work in patient transport because it helps me know different parts of the hospital, there’s nothing that I would do differently.
My advice for a new intern at my internship site is to respect everyone who he/she will have to work with, to be on time and to take everything seriously. I will miss the good advice from my Mentor and the kindness of most people of St Vincent’s Hospital.

My internship has been different than my expectations because at first I thought things were going to be really difficult but by learning how to do them and following instructions, they became easy. Compared to IHS, ST Vincent’s Hospital provides health care so more than 100 people enter the emergency room everyday and IHS provides education. There’s a similarity between these two workplaces which is Diversity. I’ve met patients and workers from different countries.
At my internship, I learned how to make an inventory which could maybe help me in the future. I think I have a good relationship with myMentor and co-workers because I feel comfortable to ask them any questions when I don’t understand something. My Mentor is my inspiration, working with her made me feel like I’m prepared for any volunteer work. She gave me good tips about life. I practiced more English at my Internship and I learned new words. At first, I was afraid to ask questions but Sister Pat made me feel comfortable and told me to ask questions anytime I want to.
The schedule affected me because sometimes I don’t get my homework done. When I get home I’m so tired that I go straight to bed. During the remaining weeks, my goal is to complete the hours due and to learn more about the hospital. I’ve learn that the area of St Vincent Hospital is the most expensive neighborhood in New York.

My internship site’s name is ST Vincent Catholic Medical Center, it’s in Manhattan and my job title is Patient Transport. My company takes care of sick people (Health care). At my internship site, I transport patients and carrying stretchers.
My Mentor is organized. Ex: she knows where she puts everything and her office is clean She's Respectful weather you were young or old. She's passionate and she loves what she's doing. The people who I work with took good care of me for the past three weeks.
I enjoyed working with Kyda (cooperation). When we have a lot to do, we help each other out so we could finish on time. The most challenging part of my internship is that sometimes I get lost.
Everyday I leave school around 11:40. It takes around 40 or 45 minutes for me to get there.
I get home everyday at 6 or later. I work from Monday to Thursday from 1-4pm. My Mentor sign my time card.
My Internship have been different from the first two weeks because now I don't get lost, I can go anywhere in the hospital by myself and I transport a patient quickly because I used to spend times looking for directions when I had to go get a patient. Now I spend less time.

Monday
First two weeks (Feb 22- March 4)
My mentor's name is Sister Pat, She's a nun. She is a very nice and kind nun in my opinion. In my internship site, I'm working in the patient transport. If you don't know what Patient Transport means, I'll tell you now: Patient transport is carrying a patient from one floor to another with a wheelchair or a stretcher. If the patient is being discharged (being sent home), he/she should be transported to the lobby in a wheelchair. Transporting patients to the lobby is what I usually do.
When I arrived in my internship, I thought everything was going to be difficult for me.
My first day at internship was kind of hard even though I was in training. Everything was puzzling for me because the hospital has 16 floors and they were showing me every part on every floor which was not easy.
