The best thing to do is get her CNA license. Great experiences that will help her in nursing school and help get a job later. Many hospitals offer a summer externship but usually it is for nursing students the semester before their senior year.

@ambsace thanks for the advice. She is currently working at Best Buy and about to complete her 1st year in college. She is just anxious and wants to begin exploring those experiences that will be beneficial in her field.

@christian she can ask around school to see if she qualifies for the CNA exam. They usually give the info out after the first semester.

Definitely recommend getting a CNA job to get experience somewhere. I have been a nurse at St. Joes for 12 years and we have a program for hiring CNAs internally when they finish nursing school. Definitely something to look into.
