LPN school: wasted a year of my life

I graduated earlier this year, (March), could not find a GPN job. Got my license a month ago and still no luck. I have applied everywhere, nursing homes, hospitals, Dr offices. I feel like I wasted a year of my life. I quit my office job because they were laying off. I figured that was a sign that I should pursue my dream of becoming a nurse and that I would have a steady career. 6 months after graduation and I'm still working as a CNA for a temp agency. No one will permanently hire a CNA who has their LPN license because they know eventually an LPN will leave in order to use their license. I feel like I wasted my time and now I'm 7000 in debt. Loans payments will start to be due next month and I cant afford to make payments because I have two kids to support. Thought the investment would be worth it. There's only about 10 people in my class that have jobs, and most of them had been working as CNA's at the same facilities beforehand. What a waste of time. I'm considering going to try to get my old job back and just hope that I dont get laid off. What a joke.

Yes, have you considered moving? There are a ton of LPN job opportunities out there! Obviously just not wherever you live. I always find this so shocking when I read this sort of thing on here.
I graduated 2 years ago and had several offers within a few hours of sending my resume out. 3 different full time positions were offered to me at the hospital plus the nursing home where we did our clinical told our instructors that they would take out whole class if they could.

If paying the loans at this time will create a hardship for you, you can try to get a Forbearance, which is for people with financial hardships or a deferment which would allow you to pay the interest only on your loans. Good luck with your job search. Hopefully something will turn up soon for you!
