I graduated last week on December 13th. I have been consistently looking 4 a job in Columbus,GA. I spoke with an LPN recruiter at a hospital on Wednesday and she informed me that the hospital is no longer hiring LPN's and if I want a job I need 2 look into LTC cause that is the only place that will hire LPN's.
Are there any jobs in the Columbus area that an LPN can work besides LTC? I hopefully will be starting the RN program in May but I need 500 working hrs before I can get into the program. Any job suggestion will be welcomed!
Specializes in all of hospital with exception to ICU..
I just got the bad news from one of the doctors offices I applied for. They want someone with experience. It is kind of tough to get experience if no one is willing to allow me to get experienced. I applied for everything from hospital, doctors offices, and LTC facilities in my surrounding area.
I did get a very odd job offer. It was for working behind a desk being some kind of rep for insurance companies....I would rather utilize the skills I have to help people one on one, but if nothing else comes up soon I will have to go and check it out.

good luck, you may have to go LTC for now...will give you some good experience to start with using a lot of basic nursing skills....
