An observation experience allows you to observe a healthcare worker in the work setting. Experiences may be for up to 20 hours and observers may not participate in any "hands on" experiences. Under special circumstances the experience may be longer, at the discretion of the department. The participant is always under the direct supervision of a Community Health Network caregiver.

Due to the extreme vulnerability of our patients in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), no requests for observation can be granted.

Requirements

• All participants must show evidence of proof of immunization or titer for measles, mumps, rubella (MMR), varicella (chickenpox), negative TB, hepatitis B, and flu shot for current flu season.
• The minimum age is 16 and a junior in high school. Any person under the age of 18 must have parental permission.
• Participant must comply with the dress code.
• Application and any additional paperwork must be received no later than one week prior to requested date of experience.
