I got my first job!

Published

Hi all! I'm fairly new to the boards, just opened an account today but have always used the site for info and advice during school.

I just wanted to express my happiness that I got my first job as an LPN at a LTC facility today! I have been an aid in LTC for about 2 years, so I know how difficult it can be, but so worth it. Today I broke out of my comfort zone and accepted a job at a different facility than the one I have been in the last 2 years. I chose this place for the awesome benefits, awesome pay, beautiful facility, and very friendly staff every time I have been there. I can start training as soon as my license shows up on the BON registry! (Hopefully tomorrow)

I am so excited to start this new chapter in my life. I can finally say I am a nurse! I am not stopping at LPN, I am already enrolled for classes to begin my RN, but this is a great start for me.

Thanks for listening, and any advice about this field of nursing is greatly appreciated!
