:crying2:So what is the point of having LPN programs???? Its like being stuck inbetween a RN and a NA..??? If you dont have experience ..no one will hire you....I have been looking for a job..and I have had NO LUCK!!..But if I was a RN....those jobs are everywhere.......I graduated in Dec....and passed Nclex in Feb......I have applied at Dr offices....lots of them....applied on line ....for a lpn position at a hospital...got turned down........office positions are few and far between...I understand that....and I have appllied at an assisted living facility...did drug test..etc...last week....but nothing so far....and NO I have not applied at any LTC....!!! I had clinicals...at those places....and I DO NOT AGREE with the way they are run!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....SO...I guess that leaves me with the decision to look into another type of career. And I had not even got started in this one......I went to a job fair....and the lady told me to go back to school????????? WELL I CANT!!.....BUT IF I KNEW THEN WHAT I KNOW NOW.....I WOULD NOT HAVE WENT BACK TO SCHOOL TO BECOME AN LPN!!!!! I ADMIRER ALL OF YOU THAT HAVE BECOME RNS...MY MOM IS ONE.....BUT I FEEL BELITTLED BY THIS WHOLE THING....I have worked hard all my life.....I worked at a company for 11 1/1 years...it closed down........it had nothing to do with the medical field...anyway.....I went to school....but I feel like I really should have done it differently now.
I cant help to feel like the LPN program is just a joke..............and again...I do admirer all RNs....it took you alot to get where you are.......but I have no desire to become one.......but I do love helping people...etc........but I cant find a job....so whats the point...no one will hire you without experience....so when they look at my resume...I am sure they just laugh........
