Follow up: AARP Open House for Nurses wanting to Volunteer
If you were among the 200 nurses who joined the AARP virtual open house for nurses on Thursday, December 12, you’ve already heard about three great opportunities to volunteer your time to improve patient care, promote brain health, and celebrate nurse appreciation.
If you missed it, or would like to revisit it, you can access the recording here.
Passcode: NursesRock24@
Below, I’ve included links to the three great opportunities highlighted during the session:
- Patient and Family Advisory Council and Peer Network
- Join a local PFAC to directly impact patient care and improve caregiver experiences.
- DAISY Foundation volunteer
- Support DAISY Coordinators in running their hospital’s DAISY Award program to honor extraordinary nurses.
- Brain Health volunteer
- Get trained to increase awareness of brain health through speaking engagements, events, and conferences.
AARP also offers the opportunity for nurses to serve as mentors to nursing students enrolled, and some faculty, at federally designated Minority Serving Institutions, including Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions, and American Indian/Alaska Native- serving schools.
I am thrilled about your interest in volunteering with AARP. If these opportunities aren’t quite the right fit, visit aarp.org/volunteer to explore more. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Wenonah Pinn at wpinn@aarp.org.
AARP looks forward to helping you on your volunteer journey and are excited for you to turn a lifetime of experience into the experience of a lifetime
