Nursing Offers Many Options

October 10th, 2011 CNA Jobs

Back in 2002, Bob Bassett was working as a retail store manager in Elko when the business went bankrupt. He looked for work at large companies in the area that seemed like a sure thing, such as Walmart, Pepsi and Dolly Madison, but there just wasn’t much there. Finally he decided to entirely change direction and get his associate’s degree in nursing – a different kind of customer service, you might say.

He worked on the medical/surgical floor of Northeastern Nevada Regional Hospital in Elko for a year and went on to get his bachelor’s degree.

He did that for five years before taking a new position as the hospital’s infection-prevention specialist a few months ago.

Easiest Healthcare Jobs to Break Into – This Won’t Hurt a Bit

September 9th, 2011 CNA Jobs

Sure the unemployment numbers are dismal but there’s one industry sector that’s looking rosier every day – healthcare. A report from the Department of Labor Statistics in the fall of 2010 showed that in the preceding 12 months (when unemployment has high), healthcare added 231,000 jobs, 27,000 in July of 2010 alone.
