   Pandora6212 posted a topic in LPN/LVN

   Good afternoon! Just looking for some advice or suggestions. I've worked as a LPN for many years in intake for home care. It is a non hands on job and a desk job. I worked this job straight out of nursing school as it was literally over the 50th...

2. LPN for 3 years but still no qualifications.

   Pandora6212 posted a topic in General Nursing

   After I got my LPN license I put out close to 200 applications over a 6 month period. I was getting pretty desperate and even applying for non-nursing medical positions. I finally landed a job as an intake nurse for a home care agency. It's a good jo...

   I got the job. :) They called me a few hours after the interview to offer me the position! It is a lot to take in but I feel like I'm getting there slowly. I have no experience as a nurse other than all those clinical rotations during school so it w...

6. LPN that can't find job and can't keep looking. Any advice?

   Pandora6212 replied to Pandora6212's topic in LPN/LVN

   Thank you for your advice. I have done a ton of walk ins but most of the time the second they hear I am a new grad I can see the disappointment and reluctance in their voices and I haven't gotten a call back yet from any. New Jersey is at least a 2.5...

   Pandora6212 posted a topic in LPN/LVN

   I have had my license for 3 months and have been looking for jobs since and even before. I have applied to 100+ but I live in CT, a very small state, and there aren't a lot of LPN postings on a daily basis. I have gone to interviews, job fairs, walk ...

11. Can a LPN work under a doctor in CT?

    Pandora6212 replied to Pandora6212's topic in LPN/LVN

    Oh, okay. Thanks guys! I was getting worried because I read this on a different allnurses post: "Definitely check with your own state Board of Nursing. How "close" the supervision of the RN has to be varies. I have worked in states (like CT) where ...

12. Can a LPN work under a doctor in CT?

    Pandora6212 replied to Pandora6212's topic in LPN/LVN

    Yes, but aren't LPNs only supposed to take direct orders from RNs or APRNs? And the APRNs and RNs take the orders from MDs? If something were to go wrong and they saw that a LPN was taking orders from a MD with no RN/APRN on site/call wouldn't that b...

    I am going to follow up if he doesn't get back to me by today or tomorrow. I want to know what their exact reasoning is for rescinding the job offer. I just was asking for advice or similar situations in the meantime to lift my spirits.
