Columbus LPN

[Shijo]

Hi. I'm an LVN in California, but I'm moving to Ohio in two weeks. I've already filled out all the paperwork to receive an LPN license in Ohio. (About 6 weeks ago, with how backed up Cali is I think I should have my Ohio LPN license in about 3-5 more weeks haha). Anyhow I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions of good places to work in Columbus. I just started a LPN-RN nursing program, so I'm only looking to work per diem or part time. I have just under a year experience working at an assisted living facility. Do any hospitals in Columbus hire LPNs? What SNFs are nice in Columbus? I rather not do assisted living again because I would like to try something new. Thanks for any advice/suggestions :)

I went online to the Ohio board of nursing. You want to apply for license by endorsement. There's a good deal of paperwork and you have to give money to California for them to send your info to Ohio. (I forget how much but I recommend finding out for when u send it because they sent my paperwork back asking for $). Ohio also requires some fees to be paid. You also have to get fingerprinted and background checked again. It's alot but you don't have to test again.
