What course did she graduate from?

It is not always difficult for a new grad to find that first position. The most important thing is the quality and reputation of the course she took. If it is a less than reputable course or a lesser known course such as a community college course (which are often only known locally and vary in program quality) then it may well be difficult or next to impossible for her to find a job right off the bat. If she graduated from a program such as M-Tec or Andrews, then she should have little difficulty passing the requisite employment tests and many employers waive the experience requirements for grads from those schools.
The first thing to ask her is what job leads her program provided her. That would be the best place for her to start. There is also a post on the newbie board with a small list of companies that are apparently known to hire and train new grads.
As an aside, it was rather unfair of your daughter to tell her friend you would be able to help her, but I am sure it was well intentioned. Just be honest but kind.

Check the COC WHEN you graduate
There are tons of jobs for M-Tec grads.
Andrews graduate..........sm
I really don't know about the pathology or radiology part of your question, but what I do know that Andrews school is fantastic. I have never heard of a company who knew about Andrews grads and didn't want to hire them. I had a job before I graduated. I have kept it for over 5 years and recently decided to change jobs. I had 4 offers immediately. I assume you talked to Linda. When I have talked to her on the phone she has been a delight. Yes, the school is a bit on the expensive side but she has to pay her instructors who are fantastic and spend a great deal of time with the students. The cost also comes with a full library of books. You won't need to purchase anything when you graduate except possibly a foot pedal and maybe software.
New graduate positions
Does anyone know any company who hires new graduates or can point me in the right direction?
So what if you are an Andrews graduate, big deal
I just read a post on this board about an Andrews grad who quit Diskriter. I am sick and tired of Andrew graduates who think they are better than the rest of us newbies. They get better jobs and more opportunites. The rest of us newbies get penalized. I was fired from Spheris ( mentor program) because I could not met the line count. There was an Andrews grad in the mentor program also. She bragged about her great QA scores and how she was leaving Spheris because of the low pay and because she could. The rest of us could not leave because we were not chosen from Andrews. Big darn deal if you are an Andrew's grad. It only means you paid more and people think you are better. Andrew graduates are full of them selves and arrogant.
How is Medware for someone less experienced but not just a recent graduate? Thanks. nm
