I am in fairmont state's nursing program, I just finished my 1st year!

I just quit my job as a waitress because I felt I needed to get as much clinical experience as I could, plus I can't wait to be a nurse!! I applied for a PCA at UHC and was told that they weren't hiring anymore PCAs right now but when they do she will call me. Well, I don't know how long it will take for a nurse manager to call and say they need a PCA....so I'm a little scared it will take a while. I need a job soon, I probably should have kept my waitress job till I found something, but I couldn't take being a waitress any longer!!! :P Anyways.....this is my question to all of you: Should I just see when UHC will call me, should I apply at a few nursing homes, should I apply at UHC for like a transport tech.? I'm knind of confused on what I should do at this point.
Thanks!!
