Hi!I will be graduating from LVN school August 12th. I have already registered for classes starting August 29th that are the rest of my pre requisites for a generic BSN program. My question is where are there jobs for new grad LVNs in Houston or Beaumont and the surrounding area? Whats the pay like?Another question I have is since I am already planning to continue my education, will that look good to future employers, or will it be more of a nuisance to them making them not want to hire me because I will be in school Tuesdays and Thursdays?! Any info would help me greatly! Thanks!

I recommend trying a nursing home...I hear there is a great demand for lvns in that type of setting and according to one company that went to my school recently to advertise, they pay as well as $18/hr with benefits and vac time. If you are taking classes I'm sure they will work with your schedule if they really need you..I am also interested in continuing my education but I am soo confused in what to do next
