Hi everyone
I just completed a post-bacc program and am applying this cycle. I am applying for some jobs at my local hospitals. I will either get my CNA, be a Patient Observation Assistant, or Mental Health Tech. I plan on working 20-32 hrs per week (whatever I need to get the benefits). I will also begin volunteering at an AIDS clinic as that is something I have never done before but would be interested in.
Mainly, I'm feeling like its going to be weird for me not to be a student as this would be my first year not taking any classes. I can't take any higher level sciences courses because there are not really any universities nearby with a big selection. I found an online graduate certificate program with the courses based given through the microbiology department. The program focuses mainly on bioterrorism. It seems pretty interesting. Would earning this certificate really do anything for my application? I'm a nerd and I like to learn haha but are schools just really not going to care at all?
Thanks for any input.
