"We can't meet the demand we currently have for individuals who want to enter nursing and other allied health programs," explains Lancaster General spokesman John Lines. "We need more space."
Funny thing about that - LGH claims to be overflowing with nursing students,
but they aren't actually hiring any nurses.
Having spent a good part of the last month at LGH, much of it around nursing students who have to work in the hospital (on their own dime) as part of their training, I highly doubt that the hospital's hopes should be so high.
They aren't hiring, and nobody else is either. The last student nurse working my Dad's floor was elated that she found a minimum-wage job at Good Sam upon graduating next week, and the rest are looking for work at restaurants.
Get a loan to study nursing now and you'll still be paying it off working at Turkey Hill when you're 80.
