WOW, What a Friend...! and that is the Disgrace in this posting... There are many programs in the U.S. where RN students do not spend time in a Hospital. Do you know that the Day Care is/was the only peds training she got or was it in conjuction with other training. You could be a shinning example of a Nurse helping a Nurse, and direct her in a directions that would benefit her, as opposed to "worrying" yourself about her 40k debt or the "Desperate Nursing Home", that would hire her. I am an LVN in the ITT RN program, student, here in Texas, and we have a variety of Clinical sites. None at a Day Care center as of yet, but I would welcome any opportunity for diverse training... i.e., the study of the constant close contact (w/childrens) in these types of facilities. So.., if she were my friend, I would direct her to perhaps volunteer at local agencies, free clinics, etc.. to build her resume`. JS Something to think about..
