Hello,

I am wondering what kind of opportunities will be out there fresh out of school. I really, really, really dont want to do LTC. Its way to depressing for me...I was a volunteer for LTC for years and don't think I could work in LTC as a career.

Thanks!

Hello, You could try doctors offices or urgent care centers. I hope this helps.

I'm a new grad LPN and I work in the Neuroscience unit of a Magnet Hospital. Of course, different hospitals around the country have different policies, but in the hospital I work at LPNs can work almost anywhere!

VA and military hospitals are great places to start. They will help pay some of your bills (yep) and pay for continueing your education. Talk to their recruiters. Plenty of opps.

I work in a L&D ward. Mostly taking care of the babies and post-partum couplets. Its fun and I enjoy it.

i am working in the county juvenile detention facility. I love it! You have alot of autonomy there, work independently, and no grunge work that you do in ltc...no lifting, no turning. If you are not scared of people who have committed a crime correctional nursing, is not hard work and can be gratifying.

TX here, work on a cardiac floor of a cardiac certified tertiary hospital, LVN's are used to the max scope on my floor, IV pushes, IV cardiac drips, telemetry, vents, PCA's, chest tubes, etc
