Columbus LPN

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!

i have only been looking for a month.. but i know several people who graduated before me who have been looking for more than 6 months

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.

thank you

Well you all have been right, it is hard to find a job in Columbus! I guess I wasn't expecting it to be so bad, since I had such an easy time in Cali. Plus there I knew other nurses that said they could get me into their facility if I got tired of the one I was working at. Here it's rough. But the last interview I went on actually called my references and I guess they said really good things. So please everyone cross your fingers for me!! I really want to start working as a nurse again!!!

Hey I just wanted to let you all know that there is hope if your persistant. On the 15th I had two of the places I interviewed for offer jobs. I even got another request for an interview shortly after that. So I've started working and just finished orientation and things are going good So anyone who is looking for a job all I can say is keep your head up! Thank you to everyone who gave me advice and support :redpinkhe
