hmmm. I might not be a bad idea to add the cover letter with the mention of types. I just read in Becker's Health News MAYBE??? "Now, an employer expects job changes due to recruitment. It's common and opportunities for improvement change faster than years ago." I would source that statement but can't find this article. (if I can find the article I add the URL) I haven't applied to a hospital in years so that might be why I haven't come across the missing job type. I've had block to choose a dot. Try putting the PD/PT in front of the job title. I have paid (it was 9.99/month) for Pongo.com offers fill in the blank templates for both resume and cover letters. Choose a plain one and it will keep the format if you paste it in. I always just browsed and pasted the file. I hope this helps more than my last post :)

Most application process operate online and do have specifications for FT/PT/PD once you get to the "application" looking information to add. I haven't put in a paper resume in years -- not until the interview process. The interview is where you sell yourself. Don't pay a professional to design a resume. Use plain text in a plain font with no colors or designs. There are plenty of resume templates online. When custom resumes are entered and pasted the computer you run the risk of the formats and data changing. I hope this helps and good luck with your job hunt. ps...look for recruiting events in your area. An event in a hospital is the best way to sell yourself in person.

I'm so excited my University is offering outstanding scholarship opportunities for Winter enrollment! I attend Strayer University and our community page sent this out for us. An educational excellence and a transfer scholarship opportunity up to 50% off tuition. RN to BSN STRAYER.EDU/NURSING Right now with my grad-fund feature I am completing my 10 core courses and only paying for 8!

That's a good question @AlleycatLady especially because Chamberlain is so expensive. I enrolled with Strayer University for a more relevant course line-up at half the cost. I even got a free laptop from them. I'm in the process of applying for another Strayer Scholarship for MSN program. I hope to win my first 6 courses, books, and fees at no cost.

I'm sorry to hear about your local CC waiting list. Some areas are now suffering lack of professors for the number of nursing applicants making it that much harder to get in. Please don't be discouraged. I recommend making an appointment with an adviser at your local school first. You will get the correct information of what's available from that adviser. The school will also walk you through the financial aid process and offer some anxiety relief over your cost concerns. I was in your same situation after high school where my parents income worked against my efforts. Again, get the appointments to get the accurate information from them. We can only offer advice, not concrete answers. Taking everything except your nursing courses at you Community College, I can't recommend enough. Many schools offer free tutoring that will prepare you for an entrance exam if required by the nursing program. While you are working on your core courses try one online class, you may really like the flexibility. As for your BSN, please focus on the ADN short term goal with the long term in mind. You can't take RN to BSN course until you are a licensed RN first. Good Luck, I'm looking forward to hear what your college recommends.

I think I can help. I was an average HS student. So don't think the only good nurses have 4.0. Next, Starting at a local community college is perfect and affordable. Here is why. Financial Aid awards are low at first, so make the most of your $. You'll start with smaller classes I suggest get your math, science, and writing classes done first if you're concerned about a nursing school path. If RN is your goal then take your ADN program at the CC. Start working and use the employer tuition assistance programs. Almost all have some sort of higher education assistance. Start a BSN program as soon as you finish the ADN if you can. Avoid the repay six months deadline and apply for anymore financial aid. Look for Scholarships, incentives, and support. I enrolled in Strayer University, my "all-in" cost was around 15,000.00 add that to my CC of 15K that's a BSN for 30K. Strayer University walked me through transcripts, financial aid, what to expect and I started with a new laptop. I hope this help you. Good Luck. Cherri
