I live in ocean county and can not find a job anywhere at all. I have applied at every single kind of healthcare facility imaginable and I put applications in every day and also to the same places over and over again. The same places are constantly posted on careerbuilder saying they are looking for LPN's and I keep applying but I hear nothing! Maybe they wouldnt need to keep looking if they just started hiring some people starting with me! I always put that I am available to work any shift all days and I can start right away but that doesn't help at all. I have some LPN per diem experience and CNA experience plus RN reference's but nothing matters. I wasted my time in nursing school when I should have went to school for something else. Sorry but I just needed to vent

donna67 63 Posts May 1, 2012 Did you find a job? I graduated lpn school in Sept. took my boards in December and started looking for a job right after the holidays. I went every where. Knock on every door I could find with my resume in tow. Finally after 3 months of searching I was offered 2 jobs in the same week. I work full time as a lpn rehab nurse and on call hospice nurse and today I was called for a permanent weekend job. I didn't take the whole weekend, cause lets face it I need at least one day off a week, so I took the Saturday position. I feel very fortunate, and always told myself once I get one door open they will all begin to open and it seems like they are. Good luck to you and your search. If there is anything I can do please don't hesitate to ask.
