@jessicar1105, sorry late reply.. hmm i worked retail too and hated it but there are other jobs out there. I also worked as a behavioral therapist for kids with developmental disabilities. sometimes u need a degree for that sometimes u dont. I also worked with developmentally disabled adults. Maybe you can look up jobs as a private caregiver? u r in nursing school and although you don't have certification maybe you can find private duty? actually a lot of people in my hospital work in other departments while in school (transport, cafeteria/dietary,etc). dont beat yourself up looking for a specific patient one-on-one job, all u need is to get your foot in the door somewhere and it helps.

And work.

I'm trying so hard. I've applied for unit secretary positions, patient registration representative, and patient sitter positions but no call back. I'm not a cna, sadly. I don't have the time or money at the moment to get certified between school and taking care of my son. :/

Hi I'm a nurse so I always recommend for nursing students to get as much experience as they can so they can get their foot in the door somewhere. Are you a CNA?
