Thanks everyone for your responses. I landed a job as a PCA and am currently training. I can absolutely see where this position would be more beneficial to me in the long run. I am learning so much and really loving it! This is truly a blessing in more ways than one. God is Good!!!!

Hey Everyone! I am a pre-nursing student at the moment, hoping to apply to nursing school in 2020. For the mean time, I am needing a job. I recently completed a short, 3 week EKG Monitor Tech certification course. I want to use this in landing a job in a telemetry unit, as I would like to become a Telemetry RN. The problem I am having is I do not have any experience working at a hospital. I am looking for advice on how to get hired at a hospital with no experience. I've even applied to Patient Care Techs and Patient Access Reps with no luck. I'm at a loss and not sure how everyone does it. I am available to work any day, any shift (including PRN), and any OT that is needed. My husband and I are stretched so thin with our finances, that we cannot afford to live on 1 income alone. I am in the Houston, TX area. Please help!!!! Thank you & God Bless!

Hello. I am considering becoming an LVN here in the Houston, TX area. I am 43 and this is something I should've done a long time ago. I decided on having my family first. So what I would like to do is go to school for my LVN certification, find employment with one of the many hospitals in the surrounding areas. Then go on to get my ADN, then eventually transition to BSN. I need some guidance with my plan. Are hospitals hiring new LVNs with no experience? If not where should I start my search? Will any clinics or nursing homes, etc be a better place to work to get my experience and feet wet? I really have no clue what salaries are the norm for an LVN in this area. Would you recommend just going straight for the ADN first instead? I'm just looking for guidance and encouragement from the nursing community. TIA and God Bless!!!
