Nassau County(NY) LPNs - Where did you get your first job?

Published

Hello all!

I got my license a while ago and have found nothing but nursing agencies willing to hire. Can anyone tell me how they got their first job as an LPN?

It would help if you were from the Nassau County area, but please respond if you're not either!

Hi! I am an RN in Naussau county NY and I can tell you the only place I saw LPN's working at were Nursing Homes. Hospitals phased out LPN's because they were limited to what they can do (no assessments, no IV push medicines). Consider going back to school for your BSN. Good Luck.

I may or may not live in Nassau County. I got my first job as an LPN in a LTC facility.

I am currently working on my bsn! I know the only jobs I'll be able to have are going to be in long term facilities, but I was wondering how any lpns may have gotten those jobs? Did you walk in to a nursing home with your resume or did you find it online?

Ps. There is so much lpns can't do in NY that they can in KY! No wonder school was so much harder in KY :)

I applied online and they called me for an interview.
