New grad LPN in NYC

[JWEMT]

I have spent many hours going over the board and I see that LPNs are having problem finding jobs, I wanted to share my experience so atleast everyone knows there is hope.

I received my ATT in August and 2 days later I took the nclex-pn. I found out I passed 3 days later. Then I received my license 7 days later. I applied for a position at a city facility the day after and got a call back in 3 days to come in for a interview the same day and was offered the lpn position. So next week I will be starting my first job as a LPN.

I graduated in June from a practical nursing school in NY and obtained my CNA as a graduate practical nurse.

I walked around and applied to more than 25 nursing home, even ones in New Jersey and Penn. I never even thought about obtaining a permit because i viewed it impossible at this time. So I waited to get my LPN license but at the same time I felt even with that the market would be hard because CNA seem like a job with more openings and i didn't get one offer. (even now I have not gotten one single call back for CNA position)

So good luck my fellow new nurses.
