Career Services

The Barnabas Success Center offers career services including resume reviews, mock interviews and interviewing tips. Students are encouraged to attend the various hospital presentations and recruiting events sponsored by the Barnabas Success Center. Special workshops are offered each semester, with topics including learning styles, writing in APA format, resume writing tips, test anxiety reduction techniques, and writing cover letters and thank you notes.

Career Services can assist students in their final semester at the Louise Herrington School of Nursing for permanent employment upon graduation, as well students wishing for part-time employment upon completion of their first semester. Any student wishing to apply for nurse positions should follow these simple guidelines on what to do:
