Here in NJ, no one wants to hire us! Looking to make a move soon, want to know where you are working.

Thanks

Hi there, I live and work in the Bronx, NY at Montefiore Medical Center. the pays pretty good, when I started it was $21 an hour, and it goes up every year from there. I enjoy where I work for the most part, but there are quite a few people who tend to think your not a nurse because you don't have your RN, unfortunatly I guess there's always a few of those sad people no matter where you go:nono:

Hospitals in North Dakota hire LPN's but at a measly 13.37hr, depending on what city you live in.

I am an LVN working in a trauma hospital in Santa Ana California. The only reason I got the job there was that I was working as a unit secretary there and I asked my boss if she would hire me as an LVN when I graduated. I also got a friend of mine who was a LVN there too. HEres the catch, I promised that I would get my RN soon. I did post my resume at careerbuilder and monster, and got calls from other hospitals in LA> I know its hard to find, but there are jobs for LVN out there in hospitals. GOOD luck and keep trying.

I live in Eastern Iowa and our area hospitals don't hire LPN's. Well, I guess the VA does, but's that it.

It's LTC or clinics......

Specializes in Med/Surg and still learning!.

i live in Middle Tennessee. The hospitals in the larger cities, such as Nashville do not hire LPN's. However, I work at a small rural hospital and have patients of all acuity. i am a new grad and have been there since Sept., when I took boards. But I would agree with other posters who say the money is better in LTC.
