Hi everyone, I am CST student and I take my certification on August 3. Lately I have been applying to hospitals in nearby states and the one I’m in now. I understand they want someone that’s certified, but my program director has been encouraging us to start applying now to have a job lined up. Well, of course a majority of the places I applied to have denied me because I am not certified, and I’m scared that once I am certified, that I can’t reapply to those hospitals again. Will me getting my application denied now as a student affect my application if I apply again after getting certified?
