If you are 13-years-old or older you can be a summer "volunteen" at Norton-Suburban Hospital in Louisville, KY. That is what I did last summer. I was 13 so it was my first chance to do it. I was in the Newborn Nursery on Fridays from 9AM-3PM and in the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) on Mondays from 9AM-3PM. In the Newborn Nursery I restocked supplies in the cabinets and cribs, rocked babies to sleep, assisted in hearing tests, and changed diapers. I also got to observe several circumcisions.
