  1. Alternatives for students that fail out of traditional nursing schools

    WorkingStudent2011 replied to sampson44's topic in General Students

    You are right, dcsolpn. Experience is priceless. A big part of my gripe is the accelerated manner in which nursing schools churn RNs who, after landing their first job, don't know what the he**...

    WorkingStudent2011 replied to sampson44's topic in General Students

    WorkingStudent2011 replied to sampson44's topic in General Students

  10. COC Fall 2012

    WorkingStudent2011 replied to H&Mmama's topic in California Nursing

  16. Can't get hired as a CNA!!

    WorkingStudent2011 replied to Frustrated CNA's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Usually, the reason why CNAs, RNs, etc. can't get hired is because they lack experience. Many hospitals will welcome you with open arms if you come in as a volunteer. You can gain valuable experience...

    WorkingStudent2011 replied to tiffjh2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    WorkingStudent2011 replied to tiffjh2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
