Candy Stripers

[aussie_chic86]

I am just curious about this, is a candy striper volunteer work or is it a paid job. I have been told both and by what l read, l am not sure what to think. :shrug:

I'm sure you'd make some dough during the holiday season.

It's strictly volunteer. I was a candy stripper when I was a teenager ... might explain something.

Either way, you could try it and then use it for your resume.

I figured I'd save you the trouble and let you use your fingers for more productive things.

Which one?

I was wondering how long it would take for this thread to turn into that

No - Candy Striper, or Candy Stripper... You said either way but I was wondering which one would look better on your resume?

Depends on where she's sending the resume -- Choo Choos or Church.

Aussie, a better question to be asked would be...

Does anyone know if the hospital offers any internships that will pay for my schooling or even a plain Jane hospital job so that I can get my foot in the door?
