I am currenlty getting ready to apply for the nursing program, but with the economy the way it is and it beging so hard for new grads to get employment do you think the fact that I have worked for the same company for 22 (25 by the time I graduate)years will help me land a job? I mean I am really hoping that things will turn around and by the time I graduate it will be easier to find a job. One thing you must know is that I work for a very big credit card company and so those 22 years are non-medical related. I am just hoping it will show my loyalty. What do you all think?:idea:

Sorry - but I doubt whether your previous job loyalty will even show up on the radar screen when it comes to getting a nursing job. Everything is basically re-set to 'zero' when you make such a drastic change of industries/careers.
