I started a new topic over in the careers area that has gotten no attention. Basically, I live within commuting distance of several wound care centers. I recently applied for a hyperbaric technician job. One of the requirements of the job is to take the UHMS intro to hyperbaric medicine. This class is being held in my area in a couple of weeks. I feel that at this stage of my attempt at starting a career in nursing, that I should pick a specialty area and go for it. Do you think it would be a waste of time and money to take the class without a job? Or might it make me more desirable as a job candidate?
