    Ugh. At least there was nothing personal in the email?

    Not sure what you mean? I can't think of anything more personal than fucking with someone's employment by lying to them about it.

    Please love yourself.

      It would seem their annoyance was dealing with her asking about the status going forward. That’s troubling and a pain, but at least they weren’t insulting… There wasn’t anything along the lines of “how does she think we would ever hire her” in the email, right?

        Yeah nothing like that, but because they told her they were advocating pretty hard to keep her on, and they felt confident they would be able to do so, she's changed her application strategy. She told them that she was taking classes, and wanted to know if her class schedule would be a problem for them. They said no of course not. That's a big deal because other places might have had a problem with it, so her bet was to try to stay on. Had she known that was a lie she'd have started looking elsewhere sooner.

        I mean yes nothing in writing, so it's not like she hasn't been looking at all, just in case, but blaming her for taking their word on things would be fucking sociopathic.

          How long until she can go into nursing full time?

            And yes, you cannot possibly blame her for taking someone at their word.

              Quite a bit. She kicked ass on the TEAS but she just took it.

                Does she have to work remote or can she be on site? I might suggest somewhere like Costco. High quality place to work, flexible hours, good bennies.

                  Eh, the basic choices are remote, so she can more or less do 9-to-5, or in-person shiftwork.

                  Costco would of course be quite a step down from what she's doing right now but fuck it, she's in a transition, that's no big. She's looking at that and similar. It'd be ideal if she could stick to what she's doing now remotely, but that might not be possible, so Costco and similar is the plan B.

                    Is she on the BS or AD track? Check out working as a nurse extern as soon as she gets to the junior point on the former or past the first year on the latter. Probably could PRN that on the weekends. There are other jobs, such as a transporter or ward clerk, but the hours might not work.

                      Yeah, her plan is to complete her ADN, then work as an RN while she rounds out her BSN. Does that sound legit?

                      Also, any jobs she could start now, or after her first semester of clinicals? I try to help with her planning to the extent that I can but it's not my world, she's got to catch me up before can even help look around.

                        Like I said, after her first year, she might can extern. An extern is a nursing student, usually working with and under a nurse, functioning like a nursing assistant with maybe a bit more paperwork.

                        Right now, a lot of hospitals would hire her as a ward clerk, a scribe, an ER tech, transporter, admit clerk, etc. Be forewarned, a lot of those jobs don't pay very well.

                        Lastly, be aware of how tough nursing school can be, both in the classroom and in the clinical rotations. Keep y'all's eyes on the prize. Most programs will tolerate one non-passing grade and make you repeat the course. Two gets you tossed.
