Really ready to leave the hobby and get a good regular job

Since you're in nursing school you may want to go ahead and apply at any of the hospitals in Houston that you like. You may have to start out as a PCA. (Patient care assistant) I don't know what they make but I'm sure it's at least $10/hr. At least if you do land a job at a hospital, you'll already be in position to move up to nurse once you finish school

Best Advice StopShort

This is what most do while in school if you have time to work.
Or look into a nurse aid volunteer program that hires.
Ask your schools advisor.

One piece of advice.....stop getting your body inked.

First impression to a hiring professional is that you're a hood rat with a thug boyfriend

This is good advice unless your career aspirations are to be a bartender, dancer or hooker. Stop getting tattoos.

Actually, bartending you can make six figures a year. Take the certification class, hours are outside of nursing school. It's an ideal job. I'm in recovery, otherwise I would do it 

Never met you hazel and can't really help you but I wish you good with your search. Stay positive and much respect on trying to better yourself.
