    We might be hiring to fulfill some position due to our expansion, however the office is in Chino hills. Like I said, its data entry stuff. Hospitals sends us CT, MRI, XRay, ultrasound, etc to us, then our staff will redirect those to our own radiologist, they read the images, write up a prelim, submit it back to our database, our staff in the office sends it out back to the hospital. Pretty simple, however the hours sucks, lol. (6pm - 8am) Cause most hospital now do not have in house radiologist after 5PM.

    It's alright. It's better if you work in a specialized area like ICU(where I work), ER, OR, PACU, etc. but overall there are a lot of different ways to earn money. You could do nursing registry or home health on the side for a little bit of extra cash.

    My sister is a pharmacist from USC, makes buko bucks but she started like 20 years ago. My niece just got her pharmacy degree but can't even get a job at cvs, weird how the market changes.

    Registry is easiest way to walk away with the most cash in a day but it's not guaranteed work. Sure you can call in every morning/night to see if they need you buy if hospital census is low in the hospitals you want to work at, then they probably won't need you unless someone calls in sick and they cant get a regular worker to come in.

    Home health is quick easy work that pays pretty well. Mostly paperwork from what I hear from friends. They usually spend 1 hour max at the patient's place...sometimes even like 10 minutes. lol

    Job market sucks for new grads usually since the baby boomers are all working longer than expected. So once they all start retiring then there will be more job opportunities. Once you get your year or so of experience in then you should not have a hard time getting another job

    Nurse and Pharmacist are different routes since Pharmacist required doing to med school lol
