I repeatedly keep hearing of the nursing shortage but it's obviously RN's only. I know of quite a few LPN's who if given the opportunity would work in some of these hospitals that are so short, but for some reason we are not good enough. I am a new grad and I hear that this LPN fade out in the hospital has happened before and then LPN's were brought back in. I personally wouldn't work in a hospital now that I know that I'm just a desperate fix and not really wanted. Yes we to have shortages in our hospitals here in Illinois but still no hiring LPN's, actually their making any LPN's that have been employed go back and get their RN or be terminated. It's such a good feeling to know that your not good enough. I'll continue to work in my LTC facility and clinic prn where I'm appreciated and there is no I'm better than you cr_p going on.

Do you see evidence of a nurse shortage where you currently work?
I just read that hawaii has a shortage.
Is there a shortage where you are at?
My point..I am wondering if the shortage is going to level off soon or Get WORSE!
