Thanks so much for the info. I am really hoping to work at Memorial so this is great news. Take care!

Just wondering if anyone here knows what the market is like for new grads in CO Springs. I have been on Memorial's website and it looks like they have a new grad program. Does anyone know how competitive it is to get hired there. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi I will be starting a BSN program in May of 06' (I hold a BA in psych) but I worry that the job hopping I did in my 20's is going to hurt my chances of landing a nursing job. For example I got my teaching credential at 29 but left the field after one year. I than stayed home with my son for a year and finally got serious about having a career. At 31 I landed a job as a social worker. I stayed there for 2 1/2 years and when I saw the opportunities in nursing decided that it would be great for my family and myself. I have good letters of recommendation from everywhere I've been, and outstanding ones from my stint as a social worker. I have never been fired and never left a job on bad terms. OTOH, I have held 6 jobs since graduating college. I loved my pre-requisites and can't wait to start nursing school still worry that my, "job hopping days" will hurt my chances of landing a job. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks
