My younger grand-daughter Beth sent over 100 applications and at last has got a job!!! It is just a half mile from home in their local 10 pin bowling alley, The Manageress reckons her recently acquired Animal Management (with merits) Diploma will prove useful with the youngsters in the children's play area. This together with starting a Open University General Science degree course, working as a volunteer at her local PACT charity shop and driving lessons means she will have enough to keep her going for now. Once she has passed her driving test she will look to start her career proper. I am so pleased for her best news I've had for a long time.

[font=Tahoma]Yes, indeed, well done.
My grand-daughter-in-law ( that's a mouthfull, isn't it? ) is now a full-fledged RN. But offices and specialties will only look at nurses with experience. ( it has ever been thus, hasn't it? -- I can remember from my early working days ) I just had my 2nd cataract surgery this last Tuesday and I spoke to the nurses at the surgery center about this. Only way for a newly minted nurse to get a foot in the door is to do the lowliest RN jobs some hospital or other might offer.
