New LPN Needs Advice in Westchester, NY

Published

So I passed my NCLEX-PN and got my License and Registration Certificate as a LPN.

Just waiting for the License ID to get in the mail now.

I am also continuing my education and will start the 2nd semester of the ADN Program this January and hopefully become an RN 2 years from now.

I really wanted to work at the Veteran's Hospital as I am also an Honorably Discharged US Marine and thinking my 4 years in service can count for my pension if I stick for 16 years at a VA hospital.

Unfortunately none of the VA Hospitals near me are hiring :(

So I am thinking I may need to get a job somewhere else before I get a position at the VA.

So far, I think the only ones I see hiring LPN's are Office's and Nursing Homes.

I really wanted to start out at a Hospital but don't see any hiring at this time.

Wheres the damn nursing shortage :(

So.

Any LPN in or near the Westchester, NY area know places that hires LPN's and around how much is the usual starting salary?

What kind of work should I expect to see as a new grad LPN?

Any other advice is gladly appreciated.
