LOL. thanks for paying this some type of attention! i appreciate it.

I live in NY not Pa but start looking at long term care facilities. They normally will hire with no experience. I got a hospital job with no experience but getting a hospital job really depends on the facility.

Also, agencies may place you per diem at a LTC facility. Check it out.

Good luck.

I work at a Genesis Healthcare facility in Delaware and they also have facilities in Philly as well, I believe its called Liberty Court. I'm not sure what part of philly you're in, but Genesis owns ALFs, LTC/SNF's, etc..so that could be worth looking into until you get some experience under your belt and can move on into a hospital setting. Good luck to you! =)
