Hospital volunteers work without regular pay in a variety of health care settings, usually under the supervision of a nurse. Most hospitals train and supervise volunteers through a specialized non-profit organization called an auxiliary. The director of the auxiliary is usually a paid employee of the hospital.A female hospital volunteer is sometimes nicknamed a candy-striper. This name is derived from the fact that female volunteers traditionally wore red-and-white striped jumpers. The name and uniform are used less frequently now.Volunteers' services are of considerable importance to individual patients as well as the health care system in general. Some people volunteer during high school or college, either out of curiosity about the health-care professions or in order to satisfy mandatory community-service requirements imposed by some schools. Others volunteer at later stages in their life, particularly after retirement.
