I am a university student looking to volunteer in a hospital that is mainly for older patients, I have two options, either to work in Rehab settings or in patient care, I don’t really know what the difference in responsibilities would be like but the volunteering assistant I spoke with said that the rehab setting is more of a group-work kind of thing, while patient care is more an individual responsibility, I plan to apply to nursing and/or physical therapy schools later, so what setting (rehab or patient care) do you think I should choose ?

Why dont you try both of them, i am sure, when you get into nursing training, if that is what your plans are you will have to learn it all. So why not give yourself a little springboard and get to know all about some of the things ahead of time, you could start with patient care, and go on to rehab. I am a Home health aide and i love working patient care.
