When I was looking to do it in the summer of '98, they were still called Candy Striper, and we were required to wear the aprons.
I'd shop around, if you or a kid are thinking of doing it. I opted not to do it because of the attitude of the person at our local hospital (she talked down to me, referred to the Candy stripers as if they were burdens due to their age), but my friend did it at the other local hospital and had a great time-made friends, was really useful, didn't have to wear stripes.
