Student Nurse looking for positions over the summer?

Published

My first year is about over in my ADN program, and I was wondering if anyone had any leads to where I might try to apply for a position where I can gain more experience? I realize the hospitals in western mass have hiring freezes and SNAP positions are not available currently.... I've already applied for Mercy's PCT position, is there any where else I should try that accepts students without offical licensure?

This might be a dumb question...but what is a PCT?

What about Holyoke Medical Center or Cooley Dickinson? They both hire student nurses, or used to at least. Are they on hiring freezes too? How about some of the Conn. hospitals like Hartford Hospital, St. Francis, Connecticut Children's?

A PCT is a patient care technician. A PCT, PCA, CNA, tech, SNAP are all basically the same position with different job titles, depending on the facility.
