I have heard that there are not that many LPN jobs in the Atlanta area and that the hospitals over there dont hire LPN's , is that true? Also what is the starting pay for LPN's in ATL, Nursing homes LTC's Hospitals, Agency???????
Could u be kind to anwser my question,i noticed people dont alway slike to anwser questions on the Georgia message board but i really need to know.
There are plenty of LPN jobs in Atlanta. If you're interested in LTC, the possibilities are endless. There are also tons of staffing agencies who hire LPN's for hospital, LTC, and physician office jobs...often these are great ways to find a permanent position.

where please tell me cause if they are they are not paying much, techs in the hospital get paid more than lpn's in ATL
I live in Rome about an hour north of Atlanta. Most Atlanta hospitals are "phaseing out LPN positions. Kennastone did but I think they have now stopped hiring LPN's. Here in Rome we have 2 hospital's that do hire LPN's Redmond and Floyd and in Cartersville Hospital dose hire LPN's but still about 30 min out of atlanta. Childrens Healthcare of Atlanta does not hire LPN's AT ALL!!! I applied there and interviewed and was told that if I would not use my LPN and go back to phelbotomy I could start the next day. Good luck.

I keep hearing from LPNs that unless you already have a position you are going to find it difficult to find a job in hospital unless you want to do LTC. It seems as though they are pushing LPNs into the LTC area and thats it. Keep looking but i had a recruiter tell me when i was doing clinicals that they need nurses but rather RNs not LPNs. Some hospitals will not hire LPNs anymore.
So when all the LPN's got into LTC eventually does anyone think it will it be hard to find a position?
I will be getting my LPN in NC then moving to Atlanta to do LPN-RN will working. If I have to do LTC until I graduate that's fine. But if it will be hard to find a job perhaps I'd be better off getting my AND?

If I may ask, roughly what are they paying at LTC's and are they as bad as the ones I've worked in in MN? I currently make over $19 in an assisted living and we are relocating there. thanks:D

Dreamon, you can find a hospital job in Atlanta: Grady, Southern Regional, Gwinnett Medical Center, Paulding Hospital and Northside Hospital hire LPNs for sure. Also, you can work for Kaiser Permanente, Emory Clinic, corrections, and home health. If you want to work a 9-5 you can do appeals, QA or work as a research coordinator. LPNs in the Atlanta area have lots of options. This is not what I heard, this is what I know, either from working at these places or because I know someone who works there. No, the jobs are not as plentiful as they are for RNs but they exist and you should not have to work LTC if you don't want to. I can't testify as to the pay but the jobs are here.
