I'm a new lpn grad. I met a few rn's that shunned my lpn clinical group for not going directly into a rn program... But, now that I have my licensure, I am encountering more of the same just attempting to locate a job. Even in the ltc facilities. (ex. I applied for a job at a ltc facility. The don called me for a interview. She knew I was a recent grad with little experience other than clinicals. Once at the facility for the interview she came to the lobby with a cell phone and said " I'll be with you in a few my daughter just called me... and she proceeded to walk outside to talk on her cell. Twenty minutes later she came back inside and escorted me to her office. Once in her office she asked how I was I said fine . Next thing she asked was how do you think you could deal with 25 patients on you? I asked if there would be any training involved and if there were cnas to help with baths etc. she then stated people don't bath everyday. I am not sure this is the right place for you. She then stated she had only been at the facility a week and said she had to ask someone what they do with new people and that she would call me. I wanted to tell her don't do me any favors but, I held my tongue. I don't want to encounter any more of this type of treatment. Any advice for me? I just need experience. I have good work ethics... I treat people the way I want to be treated ( usually better than I am treated). I am a hard worker and I assure you whomever does hire me will be pleased that they did. I feel like a diamond in the rough. I thought the senior nurses would be well polished by now... I think I was mistaken.
