I am still working on Patient Satisfaction Surveys. My favorite part of volunteering is making new friends and getting to know the patients. Now I realize that my having been in their shoes was a blessing in disguise from the Lord.</description></item><item rdf:about="http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/MandaLee_hospital_adventures/633318"><title>Who Am I?</title><link>http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/MandaLee_hospital_adventures/633318</link><description>My password on the hospital network has expired.

The best part of working on the Patient Satisfaction Survey is talking with the patients about their experiences, and just supporting them. It is so important to me to be as much of an encouraging picture of God's love to the patients as possible....</description></item><item rdf:about="http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/MandaLee_hospital_adventures/628322"><title>Decision Time:An Update</title><link>http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/MandaLee_hospital_adventures/628322</link><description>My meeting went well.

I have been volunteering with the hospital for six years and have applied and interviewed for many jobs there, but have never been offered a position. On Tuesday, I am meeting with HR. If they don't want to hire me, I may leave when my current project is finished....</description></item><item rdf:about="http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/MandaLee_hospital_adventures/624920"><title>Marvelous Medicine</title><link>http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/MandaLee_hospital_adventures/624920</link><description>It was great being at the hospital this week. Never in one place have I heard so many kind, encouraging, words or seen so many smiling faces and positive attitudes.
