What kind of job do you have? What kind of job do you hope to have? How do you deal with the day-to-day issues of your epilepsy and your job (or school)? Etc. As a student with epilepsy, it has not gotten in the way much yet, except for the extreme drowsiness my meds bring. In fact, I find that my classmates and professors are more interested in my epilepsy than anything, and I am constantly getting asked questions. I hope to work in an epilepsy unit of a larger hospital more than anything. But, we'll see.

Thank you!

Well, I hope you get something soon. Good luck to ya. :)

Thank you for the reply! Were you volunteering or anything during your program?

First off, I am just starting nursing school, but will be certified as a CNA by the end of next semester, so I wanted to get a huge jump-start on this. So, I have a few questions: 1) I have a previous B.S. in communications and international relations. Should I list this on my resume? 2) At the moment, I haven't no relevant work experiences for applying for any CNA/RN job, but I have worked on and off for quite a few years (unless you count the year I worked as a veterinary assistant, haha) . I've got relevant volunteer experience, however....past experience as a volunteer EMT-B/firefighter, and current volunteer experience at a hospital, and volunteer at a local government office dealing with Medicare (don't know if it counts). Hell, there's even a while where I volunteered for a health-related non-profit. How do I go about highlighting these? 3) Lastly, I have had to move A LOT in the past few years...like 6 times in 4 years. Yikes. It's been rough for me to find any job, due to what seems like job-hopping. I have had a few, but they all lasted about 9-12 months. I didn't intend for it to be that way, but I had other extenuating circumstances. Do I really need to put these on my resume? I mean, they weren't remotely medically-related (again, unless you count the work as a veterinary assistant). I don't know how to deal with this issue... I'm at a loss. Any help would be VERY appreciated. Thanks!

How long did it take you to find a job? What kind of employment? Where at? Etc.

I have to wait until next month.

I'm 25 and finishing up my pre-reqs. I'm also doing my CNA at the end of the year...

I know, I was trying to avoid going over 40 pages. Congrats to you!!! Thanks! :)

Wow! That's what I am worried about for the time when it comes for me to apply (for Spring 2014). My overall GPA from my previous was less than stellar (around yours). But my math/science and top 7 gpas are awesome. Thank you for sharing!

wow! you give me a bit of hope! anyone else?

long time lurker here. just out of curiosity, what are the stats of everyone who did and did not get in?
