Thanks Gerri for your advice

Hello, I'm applying for a Nursing Scholarship that besides getting awarded money, I will have a guaranteed job at that hospital sponsoring the scholarship once I graduate (I will be a fourth semester student next semester). I really want to work there above the monetary compensation I will get. But my question is, I have to write a paragraph on why I'm applying for the scholarship and where do I see myself professionally in 5 years. I already have part of the answer for the 1st question, I will say I'm applying for the scholarship because I want to work there, I think it's a great place, etc. but should I also mention that if I would get awarded the scholarship, the money would help me pay my school loans. Should I mention that? I know that scholarships are awarded based on need among other things, so do you guys think I should mention money, or I should just not mention it at all because they might think that I only want the money (which is not the case). Also the other question, I want to go back to school to pursue my master in 4 years after I graduate, I don't know if it would be wise to state that in the application. I'm sure the hospital wants all their nurses to pursue higher level education but at the same time that means that they could probably lose me in 5 years because I will not have time to work and go to school which it implies that they will have to fill in my spot once again. I don't know how should I approach this, could anyone help me out, please. Thank you,

Hi Daytonite, I've heard from someone long ago that when she was doing her clinicals the employees at the hospitals were not very nice and made clinicals difficult. Therefore, I wanted to know in terms of working environment which hospital would offer me a more comfortable experience. If you can tell me which hospital has better parking that's great too. Which hosptial is more modern, etc. Thanks

Hello, Has anyone done clinicals at Huntington hospital in Pasadena and Glendale Adventist. I will start my first semester of clinicals this September and I'm still trying to decide which hospital will provide the best experience for me, does anyone know. I would appreciate your help. Thanks
