Well, I don't actually live in Houston, I live in a very small town between houston and beaumont. I will work in either. I am hoping that I will definitely make more than 11 an hour no matter where I work, as of right now as a nurse's aid my salary is around 10/hr. So my salary as an LVN will assumingly be higher. I hope.
it took me almost one month to find a job. I went for a couple interviews and they all wanted a nurse wt experience already. But i just got hired and they agreed to train me. start rate $23.50 which is awesome for a new grad!
If I may ask, are you in Texas? or where are you from?

Just updating an old post. I'm a new grad in Houston and was wondering if anybody had any new input on the subject. I have been looking, but the job market for LVNs has definitely taken a hit. I take my NCLEX August, 23rd. !

Well, I can't work at the hospital I currently am employed at. They do not hire LVNs. So I am officially out of a job in August
You wouldn't want to stay of course, but you could continue your CNA job until you find an LVN job.
You can work below your license - an LVN can do CNA work. But they are employed as a CNA and cannot do LVN work unless it's a medical emergency - then you work at your highest level.
