If you do not mind volunteering, you could talk to the Community Relations department at a local hospital and see if they would like you to do a volunteer newsletter for them. I did that before going back to school. I volunteered to write a community newsletter on women's health for the hospital, which was actually really good experience. It gets you experience and possibly a foot in someone's door. Plus, it is kind of fun and you learn a lot!

Good luck and welcome to the list!
