new LVN looking for job

[Guest973564, DNP, PhD, CNA, LPN, LVN]

Does anyone have any tips or clues where is a good place to start off and how to nail the interview?

[Crash_Cart]

I usually try to turn the interview around and ask them questions.

For example:

"Can you tell me what is the ideal job candidate you are looking for?"

"What are the intended goals and objectives for this posted position?"

"Can you tell me what kind of problems you are having, that I can use my knowledge and background experience to help resolve for you?"

"What key components will make me successful doing this job for you?"

"Are you looking for me to start working right away, and what will be my scheduled working hours?

etc...

See what I am doing here? ?

There are more options than you think but do what you feel comfortable. Offices are Monday-Friday typically. Long term care is good to start in so you can get your feet wet and learn. There’s always overtime and work in LTC, I like money ? I like overtime. I would be bored in an office I think. I’ve been an LPN 2 years and I’ve worked at a assisted living (which is nice) and a nursing home which wasn’t bad. I now work at a wonderful acute rehab hospital as a med nurse and love the experience. I’m also applying to agency because I think I am ready and the money is great and you can make your own schedule. It’s not until 2 years later I’m realizing how great nursing is and how you can really customize your schedule and make money (yes, even as an LPN) if you are willing to put the work in ?
