   I'm in the same boat, I've been applying for different nursing support jobs but haven't heard back on any of them. (I'm not technically in nursing school either, I'm done pre reqs but don't start nursing 1 until september.) I've been told if I don't ...

   Check job listings for your local hospitals, lots of times they will hire you for a PCA or NA position with no prior experience as long as you are in nursing school.

   Kate1185 replied to alexbrinkley's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Just in case you didn't know, most county colleges offer classes to current high school students in Jump Start programs. You might actually be able to take a few before you even graduate hs. Btw, like someone else said, your mom will come around when...

    Kate1185 replied to Kate1185's topic in New Jersey

    Hi, I finished A&P 2 in May of 2010, and passed my TEAS that month also. So I'll have waited about a year and 1/2 from the time I got my "date of completion". There are still about 20 slots available so you might still get a letter. I know they s...
