Any chance in heck of getting an ER position?

[M60802]

As a new LPN?. Has anyone managed to do this?. From what I gather it's very difficult to get ER positions as LPN's. Do you think my years as a medic would have any pull?. I plan on going on to get my RN with the goal of working ER, I'm just impatient! :-)

I received an ER job as an LPN right out of school. Unforunately, my hospital has layed off some LPNs on tele floors but not in ER. We do team nursing which means there will be 2 RNs and 1 LPN in an area and it works great! We have a travel nurse and he thinks it is the best idea! We are lucky enough to function as nurses and not "techs with licenses".
