Arizona LPN??

Published

We are moving to Yuma and I am noticing hardly ANY job postings for that area for LPN's. Any feedback on that??? There are TONS of nursing homes so I am hoping to go to each one with a resume and have some luck. We are stationed in Japan right now so I am anxious to get back and start working. I am working now and volunteering as a nurse but I am ready for a new job. I am starting to get worried!!

Well not "TONS" of LTC only 4, Im a Yuman. If you have any questions just shoot. It is a very competative market, hardly any LPN's left and the college here and the one in Cali turn out RN's every single semester so its overpopulated, every other women in this town is a nurse. Getting into the college is even harder to finish your Rn, been trying to go back for a couple of semesters and classes are always full. Sorry to sound so negative and discouraging but its hard to find a job around here. Good luck

Well I saw several pages of listing for nursing homes so I thought there was. thanks for correcting me on that! So the LPN to RN transition is hard to get into?? great lol I have both my A&p's, micro, both psychs, and eng. I was hoping it wouldn't be so hard. I am worried about that now. I just got the HESI study guide. Have you taken it?

Oh well in that case you have it made!!! Getting into classes for your pre-req is hard but you have the classes you need to apply so you will be fine. I took pre-req too many years ago they will only take your sciences under 5 years old if any longer you need to retake those classes :/. No I havent where did you buy the study guide from? You need to pass HESI A2 and HESI PN Exit Exam to get in.

I'm moving to AZ to do my lpn to bsn in Tempe, I'd like some advice on an area to live that's safe and clean. I know phoenix has good and bad areas like anywhere. Also if you know anyone that has a townhome, condo or house for rent please let me know. I'm moving Aug 2015. thanks!
