What should I do!?

Published

Hello!

I am very new to Nursing. I begin my pre-nursing courses in a few weeks and I really need a job! I have NO experience what so ever working in healthcare.

What is a good job for a nursing student while being in school? Specifically a job for someone who literally has no experience and wants to earn decent money.

Please help!

get your cna through a weekend course and try to get a job as a cna at a nursing home or a tech/cna in a hospital. Most hospitals like nursing students once they have their first semester out of the way. Apply and make sure you have a letter of reference from your professor.

CNA, CNA, CNA, CNA, CNA, oh did I mention CNA??!!!! lol The expirence is soooooo helpful when you get into nursing school. I'm sure I would have failed out of nursing school by now if I hadn't been a CNA. I tell everyone to become a CNA it will help you in school and also show you if nursing is really your thing. Before becoming a CNA I had a lot of different thoughts about what nurses do. There are a lot of CNA courses out there some are only a few days long. I def. recommend becoming a CNA the expirence is invaluable not to mention the pay is not THAT bad for a college student. Good luck with school whatever else you choose to do!
