New Grad LPN: Job Hunt

Published

Hello everyone! I'm a newly licensed LPN and I was wondering how long does it take to find a job? I see that a lot of places require you to have at least 6 months experience which I obviously don't have. Are LTC facilities more willing to hire new grads or should I look more into home health agencies?

I graduated in August 2014, waited some months to take NCLEX and passed it. I applied for my job on Wednesday, and got hired on Thursday. The other place where I applied wanted me to come in for an interview, but I had to decline it. My area really needs nurses.
