Need Help!

[BlessedbyGod]

Hello all,

I just graduated in 10/05 with my LPN have worked as a School Nurse for Job Corps since that time. I really enjoy it because it gives me the youth/young adult population. But now, I really want to go back to school for my RN and want a more flexable position without taking a major pay cut, if any. I currently work M-F, eight hours daily. I don't want to work that schedule and attend school also. I would like to work a 12-13 hour shift for about 2-3 days a week and get benefits also. (I guess I'm asking alot, lol) My question to you, fellow nurses and health professionals, do you know of any hospitals in Chicago or South/Southwest suburbs that hire LPN's for those hours or close to, that would be worth working at? And it really doesn't just have to be a hospital, it can be a clinic or assisted living or if someone can recommend a Good Nursing home. I forgot to mention that I make 18 per hour.

Does anyone recommend Rush Hospital for LPN's? How much do they make?

Any and all help/comments are greatly appreciated.

Thank you Much!

I don't know about the availability of LPN positions at Rush, but when I worked there a number of years ago, they did offer a weekend program where you worked 2 12 hour shifts and received full insurance and tuition benefits. It was intended for nurses who were in school during the week.

Good luck!
