I was accepted into a lab internship, and I start really soon. I will be helping with psych research at a local hospital lab, and I honestly have no clue what to expect. Since I am a high school student, I cannot really do much work because I am not qualified and am limited in what safety procedures will allow. Honestly, I am just looking for reassurance (I feel like I know nothing and won't be of any help) and practical tips-- what do I even wear to this sort of position? Jeans? A dress? This is my first time working, and I am just so nervous! It's even the silly things like how long is a lunch break...will they tell me when to leave for lunch and for the end of the day? Should I bring a laptop to work? Do I address other people in the lab by their first names or by Mr. and Mrs? Sorry for the longwinded-ness, this is all just very new to me. In the end, I know that no one is looking to hate me, and I can ask questions etc and that this will be an amazingly valuable experience; I just want to seem professional and hopefully get the chance to learn!
