I know that you are probably very busy but if you can do some volunteer work at your local hospital while you are still in school, it will give you some practical experience to put on your resume and that will give you the edge over your fellow graduates. Also, you may end up being able to land a job where you are doing your volunteer work because you will be a known commodity to them and you may find out about job openings before they are even advertised.
