Is there still a demand for LPNs in the orlando area besides in Long term care type facilities? I used to see listings in the hosptials for LPNs earlier this year but I havnt seen any recently. And you DO want work in a hosptial as an LPN do you need to have alot of experience or can you get hired just out of school? I would rather work in a hospital or Doctors office so how is outlook on that? Are there any LPNs in orlando that dont work at nursing homes, LTC, assisted living type facilities out there? If so please reply and tell me how you got into the other places, whether you needed experience or what.

I'm an LPN right now and I work for Orlando Health at Dr. Phillips Hospital on one of the med-surg floors. I worked there as a tech while I was in LPN school and am enrolled in a RN transition program so my manager is letting work as an LPN, otherwise our floor doesn't hire LPNs. However, I've heard that other floors and Winnie Palmer, ARnold Palmer, and Lucerne hire LPNs right out of school. ALso I don't know how far from Kissimmee you are, but A girl I went to school with got a job right after she got licensed at Osceola Regional and another works at St. Cloud!! I hope that helps at least a little bit!
