This is my first day on BC and I have to admit, I'm a bit overwhelmed! Im a year out of college (BA in psych) and Im looking to go to nursing school in the fall, but can't seem to find a transitional job in the healthcare field. I've applied to hundreds of jobs, but since I dont necessarily have the medical experience yet, no one seems to be giving me a chance. any advice?

To be honest, if you're going for an RN or higher, prior healthcare experience isn't going to make you more employable as an RN. However, if you are looking for a job/any job due to the economy, apply as a receptionist and stress your great communication skills. Good luck (PS: My recommendation is to go ARNP/Masters' level) Salary levels skyrocketed a few years ago and demand remains high!

I have a bachelors in psychology and am working on my pre-med requirements, should be done in the spring. Having some form of experience is highly recommended for admission into most schools. The sad thing is I haven't found one person willing to help me find anything. They make it so difficult.

However, (if you are looking for paid) explore independent MRI centers looking for marketing. The marketing is going to doctors offices, so will get you into the community. For volunteer, try your local HOSPICE or the office of the Medical Association. Hospitals are always looking for volunteers.

Volunteering is something I've been trying to do at hospitals in my area, I either don't get a phone call back or they are not in need. It's tough but I'm not giving up. Thank you for your advice. I'll look into hospice and the Medical Association.

Yvette I'm finishing MA certification for massage therapy, which is only slightly above hair dressers and spa workers, but I like it.

Jim Canto: Hey there, Yvette. How many "hair dressers" do you know that are out of work? Start there and work up if you choose. Right?

Yvette: Hm, lots of problems in the health care industry, and I generally avoid doctors if possible, but I'm very interested in "wellness."
