Need pointers to get a hospital job before graduation

[katers005]

I currently have one year left of nursing school and I am looking to get a job as a nurse's aide or nurse fellow. I am not a certified nurses aide, but I know that some hospitals hire nursing students without certification. Do you have any suggestions of what I can do to get a job? I have applied to a few hospitals where I live an keep getting turned down. I don't have experience working in a hospital, but think my nursing school experience should help me. Let me know if you have any tips for a resume or way to convince them to hire me.

I don't know if this is an option for you, but while in my last semester of school, I applied for a nursing scholarship at a local hospital. I was granted a nice sum that paid half of my total school fees and plus had a job waiting for me after graduation.
