Hey all! 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?

I've even heard of some hospitals doing this. That is below your education level, but perhaps an option to get your foot in the door. Maybe consider volunteering at a fire department as an emt, many pay for the training and then you have the certification and skills to help in your quest for nursing school. All the best to you!
