Impressive! And when can you start working for us?
That is the feedback 极速6合s Nursing and Allied Health students received
at the Job Fair on Tuesday, Feb. 15.
极速6合s National Student Nurses Association (NSNA) hosted the Job Fair for the first
time in five years, providing 75 current students with the opportunity to secure future
employment, interview with hospitals and health care facilities, learn more from four-year
colleges about bachelor degree opportunities and scholarship funding available through
极速6合 Foundation.

Seventy-five nursing and CNA students participated in the 极速6合 Job Fair on Feb. 15 in the Cedar Building. They met with representatives of hospitals, health care facilities and four-year colleges.
Cocking helped the students prepare for the Job Fair weeks in advance through mock interviews and crafting their rsums.
We did interviews in class 2 weeks ago and they were critiqued, Cocking said. They also learned about professional attire and appropriate demeanor for interviews.
The students passed with flying colors.
I felt like a proud mother when they walked in, Cocking said. They were engaged and enthusiastic. The vendors were so impressed by our students.
Hospitals from the area that participated in the Job Fair included Carson Tahoe Health, Renown Regional Medical Center, Veterans Administration Medical Center, St. Marys Medical Center, Carson Valley Medical Center and Banner Churchill.
Participating long-term health facilities included Gardnerville Health and Rehab Center, Mountain View Health and Rehabilitation, and Carson Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. Home Care agencies that took part in the event were Visiting Angels and Amada Senior Care. HCA Health Care also attended, recruiting candidates for its facilities in Las Vegas.
Students who are planning to pursue their Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing were able to meet with representatives from the University of Nevada, Reno Orvis School of Nursing, American Sentinel College of Nursing and Health Sciences and Chamberlain University.
The 极速6合 Foundation also attended so they could talk to students about scholarship opportunities available to assist with their educational expenses.
The colleges, hospitals and health care facilities that attended the Job Fair made donations to the 极速6合 Chapter of NSNA to help students attend the upcoming national convention in Salt Lake City.
Cocking said that all second-year nursing students were required to attend the Job Fair but not all first-year nursing and CNA students participated.
We are going to make it mandatory for our first-year students, too, next year because we think they get so much out of it, she said.
