Did anyone work as a unit secretary while in Nursing School?

I had the same idea, although I am not sure if they will reinburse you if you do not work less than a year. Since you are still in the process of taking Pre-reqs try to work now so that you can save. I am just finishing up my Pre-reqs and worked my tush off for 11 months, to offset living and school expenses. Look into your area hospitals, but I'm sure they require a year before you will be reinbursed.

I have a friend who did this - partial reimbursement was also available for part-time workers. She worked at Crouse in Syracuse. Look at a hospital's employment benefits section to see what tuition benefits they offer to part-time and full-time employers and after what time period you'd be eligible.

You found one! i work as a U.S -- its great because you get used to reading the chicken scratch doctors call penmanship

you get familiar with the diagnoses - the diets, the lab work -- it all comes together for you and makes nursing school SLIGHTLY easier ..gives you an edge

I have reimbursement, but stay on top of management

One year they lost it

the second semester they signed it a month after it was due (sitting on their desk)

lets see what happens this semester
