New LPN Down and out in NC: Where are the jobs?

U.S.A. North Carolina

Published

Okay I just got my license yesterday!:nurse: I was so excited!! I have been looking for jobs but never seem to get call backs. Everyone wants an RN. I had kind of psyched myself into believing that once I got my liscense the job search would be a little easier.

Now the reality is setting in; I may not be able to get a job in NC. Everywhere they are looking for at least one year of experience. How are you suppose to get this experience if no one is willing to hire you? Even the temp agencies have the audacity to ask for one year of experience!

I think I am going to have to take a job outside of nursing and just go back next fall for RN. That way at least I will have a better chance. I can't afford to relocate; so it really sucks!!

Might try posing to a larger forum, also try Craigslist, and Simply Hired. Got good leads from both of them.
