I am a new grad LPN and was wondering if people are finding it easy to get a jobas a lpn (including LTC) or if they were finding it difficult.
Ella26, BSN, RN 426 Posts Specializes in Allergy and Immunology. Has 6 years experience. Aug 11, 2009 Im in MN, and its been hard to find a job as LPN even in LTC. I just got hired for on call position at a mental hlth facility, almost two months after passing boards. We graduated in May and most of my classmates still have not found a job.
shellyjel 11 Posts Aug 13, 2009 DIFFICULT! My classmates and I got finished June 18th. We all are having problems, except for one who was an experienced aide, stayed at her old place and they put her on as LPN. Even others with aide exp. are having trouble and I had none. I would like others input on your question too! I just got OK to test last night tho!!!
