In fact my fiance has gone through the Certified Nursing Assistant program and completed it looking to get her foot in the door for nursing. Nobody is hiring because the field is so saturated, After three years she gave up.
So she looked to skip the basic experience requirements and jump right into nursing. It's a three to five year waiting list just to go to nursing school!
So she looked at being an x-ray tech on the advice of a friend and checked out the local program. They want 47k for 18 months of school and then to top it off they want you to work a year externship for free no pay! That school and its very same program was just 6k 5 years ago!
So she found a community college that's quite a drive to get to that has the same program but its only 9k but yet again its a three year waiting list just to get in!
