What is the best way to apply for LVN jobs?


I recently got my LVN license and currently am applying for jobs. I have been applying online and going to a few facilities. Does it usually take a long time to get a job? I need all the advice I can get on applying for jobs as a new grad to hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, etc. Please let me know if you have advice or info for me, thanks!

Default Re: What is the best way to apply for LVN jobs?
Based on my own experience, it is difficult to find a job as a new grad LVN, but you can do it. If you keep in touch with some of your classmates and maybe they have found jobs, maybe they can help you get your foot where they are. If not, keep applying AND following up with the facilities. I noticed that as an LVN I couldn't be picky of where I wanted to work, so apply in as many places as you can. You can go to Doctors' offices and ask if they are hiring.

Congratulations and good luck.
