where do LPNs work?

i know lpns are huge in LTC and ALFs, but where else can they work? should i expect to have to work in one of these facilities as an lpn or to make decent money? i know there are many hospitals around here that do not hire lpns anymore, i dont think working strictly with the elderly would be for me, who knows though, after i get some experience i may like it.

hi, i work as a tech in a dialysis clinic (waiting on acceptance letter for 09) and we have had about two lpn's. one is still there. their jobs consist of passing meds and doing assessments. i will say also that in the case of a shortage they have been known to have to take on the job of a tech. but so has the rn's. it doesn't happen often though, and one more thing is we have to wait until a rn is in the building before dealing with pt's even if a lpn is in the clinic. hope this helps

Home Health pays well and hires LPNs. Try Maxim, PSA, Interim, for starters...

I work in a clinic setting and PRN for a local L & D unit that has all of it, L & D, postpartum, nursery IP & op checks.

I've done mainly med/surg and hospice, and right now I'm leaving a pre-op/pacu position at an ambulatory surgery center for a case management position.

All the best to you!:redpinkhe

what is home health all about verses agency. are they the same

I work in sub-acute rehab (post-surgical, eg post CABG or THR, also post CVA or other acute illness). It's not uncommon at all to have moderately unstable patients.

I have an interview next week as a LPN in the local jail. It actually sounds like a pretty decent position.
