You have my daughters dream job. She is attending U of Indy nursing school now to do just that, it’s her sophomore year. 1400 kids applied for their school of nursing this year and only 40 got in, she was one of them.
Congratulations to your daughter!
That is the kind of people nursing needs.
My niece is now in her second year of nursing,having graduated from USI.After just 2 yrs, she has the funny and sad tales to talk about.
Out here in Calif, there are also tons of applicants with few jobs being offered.Some are able to find a job within weeks to months and others have been trying for a year or more to find a job.Many jobs are offered to the new grads out side of their preferred location.Some move, others won’t.
May God bless your daughter in her chosen field.
