Best places to work for an LVN?

In this sluggish economy, you need to take whatever job you're offered. New grads are not in the position to be picky.

Lol that is the truth.

I love agency work get paid more and less stress. LTC and nursing homes and hospitals are great for experience though.

I enjoyed LTC but didnt have any luck earning a perm day position so I am doing VNA private care.

As it has been said, new grads have no room to be picky. I've heard some new grads who absolutely refuse to work in LTC because "they will lose their skills," but then aren't working for 6-8 months. I've just realized that those LPN's are a work of art... I hear that you use more skills not working than working. Classy.

Meanwhile, once they land a job at a hospital, they are stuck doing twice the amount of work (this is probably an exaggeration), but they are for the most part doing more work or more laboring work than their LTC counterparts while the LTC counterpart has accumulated 6-8 months of seniority and is that much further to establishing their footprint.
