Lost!! where should i work?

Published

Hello everyone, this is my first time posting here. I Love this site, everyone is soo helpful. Well i just passed boards on 9-15-07!!! Thank you GOD! But, I have a dilema, I am currently taking a micro class all day on Friday, you all remember how hard this class is. And I am also in the LPN-RN bridge all day saturdays. My problem is that I need a job as an LPN with very little stress at least until I graduate. And i would like a job outside of the nursing home. Does anyone have any suggestions??

Please help me even if it's with the smallest advice, thank you!

Hiya,

Have you thought of doing some home care or private cases around your area while you are finishing school? The home setting is much less stressful (OBVIOUSLY!!) than a busy hospital where they will likely want you to do a full-time intensive orientation with their facility.

Look into agencies, look in the newspaper, and keep your ears open for someone who might need assistance with daily activities at home. It is likely you could make your own hours, though the compensation may not be up to par. You have more than enough training for a PCA/Home health type position and would make a real difference to someone in need!

You will learn more than you think doing home care. You really get to focus in on one patient's story and know their care inside and out. It's a unique way to start your career, best of luck!

How about an 8 hour shift at a community clinic?
