Hey all,
So I work in an ER in the state of Colorado. I have been asked by a supervisor outside the ER (inpatient) to volunteer for an event not supervised by my hospital. I am more than happy to help out fellow employees. It would be simple first aid for a 2 day high school science fair.
I have yet to ask the supervisor but my only concern is where I stand legally by volunteering for this event. As I am not working for my agency am I just covered under state protocol. I don't want to expose myself to legal issues just to volunteer.
If anyone can shed any light on this that would be greatly appreciated.
