Maryland LPN work???

Published

Hello All!

I have been an LPN For 9 years and NEVER had problems finding work. From 2008-2011 I worked in DC but left for FL for a year and ran into problems finding work. Finally got hired on and they cut everyones hours so I had to job hop. Decided to moved back to the DC area in Maryland and no one is hiring except temp jobs and there not even giving any hours. Even nursing homes only want PRN. I am going crazy trying to find work, I have even applied as a Medical Assistant and at a grocery store so that I have some sort of income.

NO ONE IS HIRING! Any help would be greatly appriciated!

Thanks~

Have you tried home health agencies? Since you have yrs of experience, they would gladly take you. I'm always seeing ads on craigslist. Have you ever worked with peds or with trachs or vents? I see some HH ads specifically asking for those who have experience in this field.

Hey Nurse2bKimberly!

No I have not tried the home health side of it. I did sign on with 2 staffing agencies and neither has work right now at all.

I do have experience with trachs etc.

There are a few SNF in the area that I will walk into and hand my resume out and fill out an app! Pray for me! :)

Thanks~

Good luck!! Have you ever considered corrections? With your experience, I'm sure you'd be hired easily at a facility.

If you are truly desperate for employment, perhaps you may wish to go extreme rural, such as West Virginia or southern Pennsylvania. Many people live in WV or PA and commute into DC/MD/VA. You could do the opposite by living in DC/MD/VA and commuting to WV or PA.
