When should I start applying for jobs?

I'm in a 2 year nursing program, should I apply before I take the NCLEX? Or before I graduate? I know it is competitive. #nursing #student #jobsearch

Will I get my dream job going to a smaller University?

I found the perfect college, the only problem is that I want to get a great high paying job when I get my diploma and I'm worried that going to a small school might limit my future job options.

With the volume of people attending college, does a degree mean as much as it did 10 years ago?

In the pursuit of a great career, I would think that I need all of the advantages that I can get in order to accomplish this. However, I am concerned that my degree will blend in with others.
