I am writing this thread to see if anyone out there can help me. I am a registered nurse with a BSN. It took me over a year to pass the NCLEX which I took twice. As a result I did not qualify for new grad positions. I finally landed a job to work one on one with a client. The job requires that I perform only one single simple nursing task.
I can't say exactly what simple nursing task I perform everyday on daily basis to keep my client's privacy.
Anyways where I work there are other nurses. They also take care of my client but they do not do what I do for her.
Yesterday at lunch break I run into one of the nurses and we struck up a conversation. She then proceeded to ask me if I am an LPN. When I told her I am a RN she was shocked.
APPARENTLY what I do is something an LPN can also do.
I am now trying to apply for positions in long term care. I FOUND about 8 positions in long term care. IF I apply do I have a chance or is it too late to enter that field because I only have this experience?

I do not have LTC experience. But I have worked for over a year in outpatient clinic. I know how to be a nurse for many people.
If I start work at LTC I can manage. I am a great nurse.
