    vanillavirtue replied to Marc86's topic in General Students

    vanillavirtue replied to CocoChanel's topic in General Nursing

    What you are doing (volunteering) is a great idea to get your foot in the door. Just keep talking to HR, and they might hire you because they see how persistent you are. Have you tried any hospitals...

    vanillavirtue replied to Marc86's topic in General Students

    vanillavirtue replied to Marc86's topic in General Students

    vanillavirtue replied to Marc86's topic in General Students
