Least Stressful LVN Jobs?

[moomin, LPN]

Hello,

I was wondering what are the least stressful LVN jobs? Also, what would it be like as an LVN working in a clinic? I would appreciate any feedback. Thank you!

Hi, moomin! I really couldn't say which LPN jobs are more or less stressful because there are so many factors that can affect that-- and to a certain extent it depends on the individual personality. 

My experience working in a clinic is that it can be stressful, but I found it a different type of stress than that of a hosptal unit.

Overall, I enjoyed working in the clinic environment. Assuming you work somewhere that isn't trying to save money by running the nurse into the ground, and you get along well with your co-workers it can be great, especially if you want to work day shift with holidays off, etc.

The other thing to consider is the type of clinic (or doctor's office) you work in. A normal day, including any direct patient care can look very different between a family practice clinic, an allergy clinic, and a freestanding surgery center, for example.

Anyway, just a few of my thoughts on it. Clinics are definitely worth including in your job hunt if you have an interest. Best wishes!
