1. Can Volunteer work count as an Work experience?

   mixtapes replied to starghadeer's topic in Job Hunt

   Great point to bring up! I have been thinking the same question. I feel like my volunteer experience is just as lengthy as my other experience. We want to get some recognition for it, right? Any other advice from experienced nurses would be helpful.

   peaceofmind8, Wow, you got into the USF MSN program! I would take that offer over all of them. If that is your long term goal then go for it. Hopefully, the economy will be better by then too. I am not sure what your clinical experience would be like...

    mixtapes replied to TxRNtoCaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, your situation is tough. I don't look down on you for having to quit. You are doing what you have to do to survive. On a side note. Is it still really tough in the Bay Area for new grad nurses. Pretty non-existent??? I am in nursing school now ...
