I have had my LVN license for exactly 8 months now. I have filled out over 200 applications and have had 8 interviews with no LVN job to show for it.I serisously would stop going to the LVN school. There are way too many students putting in like 30 grand at private schools to find that it was a waste. Even RNs are suffering. I am moving onto physical therapy
There are lots of jobs out there for LPN's. So what if they do not have job open's for us in the hospitals! From what I see, RN's are over worked in the hospital with low staff and causing them all kinds of health problems, I don't want to work in a hospital EVER because of that(just my opinion, we all need to stay healthy for ourselves and our families)! Whenever I see a job listed for an RN, they list LPN's too in certain fields of course, but I am cool with that. I live in Missouri, and when I go out on Craig's List, there is always something for everyone in the health field. NO PHASING OUT OF ANYONE!! Right now, there is openings for RN's and LPN's to give flu shots from September thru December. There are several different clinics hiring for this, but we have to be careful which one we choose to work for and research them. I feel confident with being an LPN and feel that New LPN Grads can and will find a nursing job if they stay motivated and ambitious on finding one! Good Luck to all you LPN's out there. There is jobs for us out there!

I'm 1/4 of the way through LVN school and debating on whether I should finish. Reason: I'm hearing there are no jobs available. I'm 50 yrs old and I don't want to waste and invest any more of my time and money if I won't be able to obtain employment once I graduate and get my license.
