To be a Clinical Instructor or a Hospital Staff?

[kharyn77]

ive been volunteering for more than a year and I 'm still waiting for my year long certificate. I've been taking up Masters of Arts in Nursing since 2007 and earned 33 units (still counting). I wanted to stay on as a staff but i'm not being hired unless i know somebody connected to SOMEBODY or bodytalks?

I'm being petition by my mom who is an immigrant plus i still wanted to serve my country but i need to earn to. Would my being a clinical instructor not be counted as an experience, hospital experience?

Please do enlighten me on this matter. I need to have a job to earn and not be a parasite. I'm Being hired as a CI at a certain school here in our province. im torn.

Being a teacher in nursing is not only compund to experience (but experience is a big plus factor). My heart goes out to those junior nurses who have taken their career paths into becoming a clinical instructor or lecturer. If I didn't have any job opportunity to work in a hospital back then, I would have pursued a career in teaching as well.

This, I think, is an effect of the slow turnover of nurses in our hospitals. That's why there are no job vacancies for new nurses.
