Getting Your Foot in the Door

Posted over 5 years ago I am a student at WTCC, for CNA1, and want to get my foot in the door at the hospital near by so I will be able to get started when I get out of school. What is the best way to get started before graduation. I have wanted to do nursing for the past 12 years and feel as though now is my time. I just want that extra hosptial experience when it comes to the work place. I am a hairstylist also which makes for a difficult time to get started with only that on my resume. I need some help!!! |

| Posted over 5 years ago Once you pass your CNA course you shouldn't have any problem getting on at the hospital, as long as they are hiring. Working as a CNA will help a lot with the things you learn in nursing school. Just remember that school can be very tough sometimes. Some people are able to work full-time and go to school and then there's some of us who can't. I know a lot of girls in my class cut way back on their hours at the hospital so that they could keep up with their schoolwork. GOOD LUCK! You've chosen a very rewarding career. Stacie |
