I have checked. I'm from NY so in most hospitals they have positions like Nursing attendant or nursing companion or nurses aid, stuff like that. I've applied to those positions but I haven't heard anything back at all. I'm not qualified to be a PCT because it requires that you complete a course in EKG and Phlebotomy. I've been applying for over a year now and idk what to do at this point

Hello,
So I know this question has been asked many times on this website but I'm hoping someone can give me some insight on how to get a hospital job during nursing school.
A little background about myself; I am a third year nursing student (about to start peds and OB clinical rotations in the fall) and I currently work as a physical therapy aide (a little off, yes I know) I originally got the job because I wanted patient care experience, which I got. But now seeing as it is my last year of school I really want to get my foot in the door of a hospital soon. I've been applying to hospitals for almost two years now and I haven't had any luck getting a job
My question is what jobs are good to apply for during nursing school? how hard is it to get a job in a hospital while in nursing school? What do I do when I haven't heard anything back from places I have applied to? How to get my foot in the door before graduation?
*sorry this post was kind of long but i need all the help I can get*
