Nursing student really needing some advice!!!!!

I am a first semester Nursing student and I currently work at a local restaurant. I have worked at the restaurant for 7yrs. It has really been a great place to work b/c of the flexibility with my schedule and my co-workers are great. I am beginning to think that I should get a job within the healthcare field. I want my future employers to see that I have more experience besides going to Nursing school and working at the restaurant. Although, the restaurant is a service industry as well. I think I should find a job that is more in line with the healthcare field. I really want to get my foot in the door and gain as much experience/exposure that I can. Plus, I have the entire summer available w/ no classes. I have applied to volunteer at a hospital, but I want to do more.

My question is: Should I become CNA certified? I am finding that this training will allow for me to

apply for certain jobs, hopefully part-time. How to I become a medical technician?

Any advice I would appreciate.

Sincerely,

Learning as I am going :confused:

    I recommend getting an externship in an area that you would like to work. That way you will get paid, gain experience, and have a foot in the door when you graduate. It is getting harder for us new grads to find jobs so having your foot in the door will help you out a lot. Plus, you may be able to extern like one day a week (or whatever works best for you) and still keep your other job.
