AtropineNA Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Hi everyone, Just a quick question, i'm reporting my CASPA hospital volunteer hours from the UCLA medical center and they also award hours for donating platelets (80 hours worth per ~2hour platelet donation period). Should I be counting these hours too? On my official printout sheet, it lists "blood platelet donation 80 hours" next to it. Thanks for any input!

Administrator rev ronin Posted April 25, 2012 Administrator Share Posted April 25, 2012 Wait, what? They give you 80 hours worth of volunteer credit for 2 actual hours of donating platelets? I am guessing this is for some sort of internal rewards system, weighting volunteer hours actually spent donating vital (yet regenerable) body parts higher than, say, giving directions at the information desk. I would be very careful about listing that as anything other than the hours actually spent. In fact, I would recommend you NOT list the "bonus" hours (assuming I'm reading the situation correctly), but rather list the actual hours and describe what you did, to include platelet donation.

AtropineNA Posted April 26, 2012 Author Share Posted April 26, 2012 thanks everyone, will be honest and put the 2 hours actually spent donating platelets, which (internal reward system) counted as 80 hours worth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
