Portland Oregon LPNS


It appears in my job search that no hospitals in the area hire LPN's to do floor nursing, including Southwest Washington Medical Center. Yet they are going to open 2 More LPN schools in this area. Does this make sense ? The market is going to be flooded with LPNs looking for work? I am not interested in working in a nursing home. Has anyone found the same trend with with hospitals in this area? Thank you.

Default Re: Portland Oregon LPNS
I have heard rumors, mind you rumors that some of the Legacy hospitals are looking at a team nursing model and are considering opening up to LPN's. I know of a few LPN's where I work now, but they have been around for about 5 years, and they haven't hired any more since they came on
