Thanks Everyone for the info! I was able to find out that with my 15 years RN seniority, anyone under 10 years seniority floats b4 me. Will still float/rotate with another nurse if their in the same category as myself. Anyone over 16yrs-20yrs are more senior than me. I still wish my 5 yrs LVN years count. (Still trying to go to upper mgt., to make it count as county service years).

I actually have inquired about it from my charge nurse and manager, as well as human resources staff and whoever that I can think of. They say it’s only the RN years ( per our Memorandum of understanding). The thing is, they’re phasing out the LVNs (In hospitals) in California or the ones that have been there longer than me retired (all I know before like 5 yrs ago was there was an LVN that didnt float anymore after 20 yrs; There is no mention of any LVN & RN years. So unfortunately, I didn’t have an answer. The reason for this thread is just for comparison as far as how it is in other hospitals in other states that (still hires LVNs that get their RNs). Who happen to be in the same situation as me.

Hello fellow nurses! I am a permanent employee at this county hospital who have worked those number of years (combination RN and LVN years). I know that if you are a RN for 20 years, you are not required to float. But my question is what if you worked 15 yrs as a RN and 5 yrs as a LVN, would the LVN count as seniority years as well? So that’s a total of 20 yrs seniority right?
