For the past year I have been without a job. My husband and In-Laws were nice enough to let me stay home to get my general classes out of the way to make it easier while I am in the nursing program. We have decided that it would be in my best interest to try to get a part time job at a hospital in order to get my foot in the door.
The lady at Memorial was very nice and tried desperately to get me a clerical position. There unfortunately were none available right now so she asked me if I would be willing to work in their coffee shop for a short time until they could find another position for me.
In the summer I will be taking the Fundamentals of Nursing class and after that they will put me on the floor as a CNA. I am very lucky to have gotten this kind of opportunity in this area. They normally do not find a job for just anyone. My husband fortunately had a little pull with the Hospital president.
Not only will I be making a decent wage, but they also offer tuition reimbursement for part time employees. This helps us out tremendously. I have to work there for nine months after I graduate. If they do not have an open position I don't even have to pay the money back. A win-win situation for me.
I can't wait to get back in the work force again. I just hope I will be able to find the time to study.
