Im an LPN! Now what??

[luv4nursing]

Well this is late news because do to the poverty I was living in while in LPN school, my internet was disconnected for the past couple of weeks...lol. But, I passed my boards and got my license! :balloons: Im very happy and excited but not really sure what to do next! :rotfl:

I have a job lined up doing children's home health, but Im not sure if I want to do it full time. Im gonna start with it initially though. I want to gain experience and keep my skills and Im afraid that may not happen with this job alone. My thing is, I dont want to make a commitment to work somewhere and risk not liking it...lol. I know thats a risk u have to take but Im a little chicken right now. I know I dont want to work in a nursing home so that rules out many jobs, and I would love to work in a hospital setting but the positions a few and far in between plus the pay is really low. Ideally I think Id like to work part time in a hospital or clinic and do agency on the side. That way the pay would balance out to average since agency pays high and hospital pays low.

What did u do after you passed your boards?
