Jobs for during nursing school

Published

I am currently 16, and I know that I am most likely too young to work at a hospital, but I am going to be starting my second semester of pre-nursing classes (electives/general classes needed for nursing). It may not be possible, but are there any jobs I can get now, or at least in a couple years I can get at a hospital before I graduate nursing school? Or are there any jobs that I can get a certificate for and then work at a hospital? For example I have my PCA certificate, but I would like to get a job at a hospital to not only get experience, but also learn things that will help me better understand the concepts I will be learning at nursing school.

Specializes in Case manager, float pool, and more.

Working as a CNA either at a hospital or even LTC will both be of benefit while going through nursing school. You'd get good experiences either way. Good luck.

HH aide is another option. I did that throughout nursing school.
