Hi, I am a senior in college and I have gained approximately 700 hours volunteering at a nursing home and a hospital. I am looking into clinical jobs this year to get more experience - I have applied to over 50+ PCT and MA jobs with automatic rejections. I came across this behavior tech position and posting on here to see if this counts as clinical experience and if its worth applying to?
