I cannot find a job as a LPN in California..Very sad :(

Trying calling them back. Thats what I did. I even emailed a few places.

Your school doesn't offer job placement assistance? How many job applications have you completed? How many resumes have you mailed or faxed? Have you shown up to facilities in person and applied within?

I completed a California LVN program one year ago and received many job offers.

That is crazy! what part of cali are you in?

It's TRUE!! They are looking for LVN's with at least 6 months experience! It sucks but i'm sure there are places out there that are really looking for people. Just keep trying.....at least thats what im doing. I applied in person and online....someone is bound to call back, right?!?!?

I am sorry to hear that. I have been reading your progress from student to passing the boards. Have you tried agencies?

It is true, most hospitals in Southern California do not hire LVN's and the registries want you to have at least 6 mo. to 1 yr. experience. But, the convalescent homes hire new LVN's and the turnover is huge. I found a home health agency that hires new grads. But this is Los Angeles County. Bala Shark, where are you? Lets talk, think I can help. I too felt desperate.

I am really shocked. Have your tried nursing homes? LPN's here (pa) in my region have employees calling them left and right..ESP IF YOUR A NEW GRAD.

Maybe you should consider moving to Connecticut :-). There are plenty of jobs. My friend graduated last June already on her second jobs because so many to choose from.
