    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

    Not many hospitals hire LPNs, although Children's Hospital and Mt. Carmel currently have some LPN positions available. Also Chalmers P Wiley VA in Columbus. Hope this helps.

    Thanks. I'll make sure to put in my application once I get there

    A lot of places require at least one years experience as an LPN before they will consider you for employment.
    I recently graduated and i am having a real hard time right now finding a job, as are many other nurses i know.. the job market is very competitive and there are just not enough jobs.
    if you are willing to travel there seems to be more openings in cinci and cleveland

    My husband has orders for Columbus Ohio so we'll be there. I have 10 mos experience, so hopefully they'll still look at me. I would have finished out the year if we weren't moving. My DON has promised a stellar reference

    Where all have you and your friends applied? How long have you been looking for a job unsuccessfully? It makes me feel nervous hearing that you have been having such a hard time!

    Here in Columbus, your best bet is looking for positions in LTC or HH. The jobs are out there, especially if you have experience (10 Months is still more experience than a new grad.)

    Good luck! (And welcome to Columbus! It's a great city. )

    Thanks, that's reassuring Do you have any suggestions to which LTC facilities are the nice ones and which ones are the ones to avoid?

    Why was this post moved to the student section? It's a question of where I can work as a nurse in Columbus.
