I give up!

Published

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

I am!

2fly I sent you an email

NMlpn2rn do you live in Ocean County?

I just turned down a job with Advanced Pro Home Care in Brick.

It's easier getting a job a job with an agency before working for a rehab.

I got lucky and my first job was in a rehab. It's not an easy job. I work with TBI, and DDD, and spinal cord injuries.

One of the agencies I work for has enough LPN's.

Tomorrow is my orientation for the 2nd agency so when I go there tomorrow I'll ask if their looking to hire any additional nurses.

Someone that I graduated nursing school with just got hired with an agency in Whiting.

Good luck, I know how much frustration I went through when looking for my first job, but once you start working, it's easier to find work.

Where in Manahawkin is that? Is it just called home care? Is it ” right at home” that's located above the mrs.walkers ice cream shop? Thanks for the heads up!

Specializes in ER.

Not even nursing homes or home care? That is suprising. My brother has cerebral palsy and gets home care nursing and all of his nurses are LPNS

Once you get your foot in the door of lpn work many new doors open. This is what I have experienced anyway. Good luck to you all
