I totally believe that....Even though you're not experienced "yet" you did just finish in the clinical setting correct? That's my problem, I haven't been in the clinical setting (doing G-Tubes, Trachs, JP pumps, wound care etc...) since 1997. This is just very frustrating!!! I did some pretty "major" procedures at my OB/GYN office & a nursing home says I don't have experience!!! The best way to get in LTC is to do what you did...go after graduating! Good Luck to you......
