i'm nearly done with my first semester of nursing school. i work pt in a group home (developmentally disabled kids), and once in school i changed my schedule to overnights. it's worked out wonderfully. it forces me to get my studying done, no distractions, access to computer, etc. another plus, is that for my training at work, i'm med certified, have cpr, regularly get my ppd, etc. another job i've had before is working in a liquor store...a great mindless, low stress job... that did have some downtime (in order to study).
there are no qualifications needed, other than having a driver's license and a drug test. it doesn't pay well, but i wanted something 'in the field'...but i look at it this way, i get paid to study , and there is a 'nite differntial'.
i only work pt (tues, fri. and sat. nites - 10pm - 8am), sleep is an issue, but it may just help when i'm actually an rn starting out (without seniority).
Yes, you got it right, if they book 40 people, they take 40 people, and while sometimes they send some home early if they are done with that particular scene, if you show up, you get paid.

ps... i'll catch up on sleep this summer
Could you give me like a company name, website, anything really that I could find more information on this stuff at, and apply. cause this seems like a not so bad job. I wouldn't mind it, pay doesn't matter to me as long as I'm getting paid.

Actually what i really meant was by a gig.
Meaning when I go down there, and there's a group of people.
Most of the time do they take everyone? Or is it like they would 20 of the 45 people that showed up.
But I think you already answered my question.
This is awesome, I can't wait to get into it.
I've already printed out the paper work, I'm just gonna wait till its almost summer, get all dressed up and head down there.
And the pay is pretty awesome for college students like me, especially for not doing anything really.
Just being in the background. Hahah
But thank you seriously! I'll let you know what happens.
