Hey all. I have a dilemma. Here's the short and sweet version:
Should I:
A) Rearrange my spring semester schedule, pay $1k, take the CNA course and then look for work as an aide (which at the moment, does not look promising around here).
OR
B) Volunteer as an ED patient rep at the local hospital?
I'm really only looking for about 8hrs a week and making $ is not all that important to me (one 8hr shift/wk won't net squat anyways).
If all goes as planned, I'll be starting nursing school fall 2012. I'm leaning more toward the volunteering because I'll at least have "a foot in the door" (more like my toe) in a hospital and I won't have to pay for classes. The CNA class is tempting, I would eventually find a job I'm sure and I know it will give me more hands on experience than just being a rep.
Your thoughts?
