LPN to CNA/PCT

Published

I hate to admit this but I am thinking of dumping my LPN for a CNA just so I can work in a hospital. Tampa hospitals are NOT hiring them anymore, nor are they 2 yr. RN's. I think it's ridiculous being it's cheaper to train and employ LPN's but whatever. We can blame it on Obama right hehe? Anyway, I would NEVER admit to a school that I was an LPN before or the hospital staff...be terrified they would think I am NUTSO but I so want to be back in the hospital ENVIRONMENT that I'll do anything. Even clean the units. Love being around people and helping others. I just am not feeling nursing home, ALF's or home care.

Anyone else feel me here?

You can try. I just know that no hospital in my area will hire you unless you have 6 months scrub experience or have graduated from a scrub program.

This is very true! Was told so myself by an OR Director/manager
