experience working with patients.  Nursing homes tend to be more flexible than hospitals with age
requirements, and hours that you work.  Sometimes local churchs ask for volunteers to work at
free medical clincs in Pontiac or Detroit.  Check with your church
Also think about joining CLUB MED at THS to learn about medical jobs.
