I don't have any experience. I have teaching degrees and used to teach elementary school. I've been working in publishing for ten years. I just applied to Seton for a clinical assistant position, but...

mwski, I'm sorry you didn't make it. You were sooooo close! You bring up some very good points, too. From everything I've been told, it's tough getting a job as a new RN in Austin right now, and it...
