I'm in the same boat here in the DC area and it is very frustrating to say the least. I'm gonna start registering for classes sometime this summer hopefully. At least one class in the summer and make sure it's an easy class at that. Keep looking you'll find something, don't give up I'm not.

Indianapolis has alot of lpn work..The pay will be between 18 to 22 dollars an hour.may be the low end since ur new and depending on the place..Most the work is in LTC..I have been in indy for around 17 years its a good place to raise a family if u dont mind about four months of winter...the cost of living is average..anyways good luck..

Are you trying all areas or are you only looking into one field (for example hospital work)? I am a little north of you in Brevard county and just graduated in Dec and 1/2 my class who hasn't even took the boards yet have been offered jobs. But they are nursing home, va and prison nurse jobs. Just make LOTS of phone calls and send lots of resumes out. Good luck!
