Advice for Prospective Pediatric Nurse


Hi Everyone!

I知 hoping for some advice for anyone who has worked in pediatric oncology, PICU and NICU. I will be applying for accelerated BSN programs this summer and I know that I want to work with children. I知 in the South Jersey/Philadelphia area and I致e read a lot of posts about new grads having to accept anything they can since the job market is so bad right now. I知 hoping that by 2011 when I graduate, job opportunities will be a little better, but is there any good volunteer work or entry-level health care positions I should try to get involved in to start on the right foot? Externships? Any comments or advice would be much appreciated! I知 a recent graduate with a finance degree and I知 really excited to make the switch after landing my first number crunching job in corporate finance!
