parental illness precluded me from entering practice (my choice--things are now better) when i passed the nclex in jan '03. hence, no experience; how do i get a job? college backdates over a decade from present, and i've held only very sporifice non-relevant part-time employment during this time. i fear that lack of references will present difficulty (i have only social references). i've been good about staying relevant regarding fundemental sub-acute patient care and its related issues. i'm asking advice on the best way to approach getting work. i'm in my early 40's, and completely willing to do nocs. i reside in california, and like the north coast or northern central valley / sierra. thanks for any and all! --solipsius
