I certify that the information on this application is true and complete to the best of my knowledge.
Acceptance into the Volunteer Program at North Florida Regional is contingent upon satisfactory completion of all preplacement procedures which include, but may not be limited to, an interview, criminal background investigation,
orientation and tuberculosis screening.
I understand that any misrepresentation or omission of facts on this application will be sufficient cause for
disqualification of this application. In addition, after obtaining a Volunteer position it is found that the information on
this application is significantly untrue, incomplete or misrepresented; I understand this will result in immediate
dismissal from further participation as a NFRMC Volunteer.
I understand that a volunteer at North Florida Regional Medical Center is minimally required to work a minimum of
two hours per week.
I donate my services without monetary compensation.
I will abide by all the rules and policies of the Volunteer Services Department/North Florida Regional Medical Center. I
will complete health office requirements, necessary training, orientation, observe the dress code, code of ethics, and keep
all patient information confidential.
I understand North Florida Regional Medical Center reserves the right to terminate my volunteer status as a result of
failure to comply with health system; absences without proper notification; unsatisfactory attitude, work, or appearance;
or any other circumstances which, in the department director’s judgment, would make continued volunteer service
contrary to North Florida Regional Medical Center’s best interests.
I have read each of the above conditions, and agree to honor them. In addition, I hereby authorize any prior employers
