Charles wants to know how important a TPP program is and what he should look for. Prepare an answer Stephanie could give him.

Charles Christoph is currently in the last semester of a 2-year associate degree program. He is actively preparing for the licensure examination that he will take after graduation but not certain what else he should be doing to prepare for his fi rst nursing position. He is very excited about graduation but also concerned because he has student loans he must begin to pay back as soon as possible and a family to support. Charles and a classmate are doing their last-semester immersion experience at a large teaching hospital near their college. On their lunch break, Charles asked his classmate Stephanie if she had begun her job search and how it was going. “Of course,” she said, “haven ’ t you?”
“I need to get started,” he answered, “but I have a lot of questions.”
“What questions?” she asked.
“What should I look for other than salary levels?” asked Charles.
