On one of the threads here regarding Helene Fuld, I've read that some exceptions have been made regarding LPN working experience (some is better than none) - why don't you just schedule an appointment...
There's no strategy. Just apply apply apply. There's lots of jobs posted online, grab the local papers and the ones with just ads on them, google all the types of facilities (nursing homes, assisted...
The uniform store Minnielynn was talking about is B&R Uniforms and they moved. It's now on 2nd Ave between 24th and 25th st. I think they're the only scrub shop in the city, if you can believe it....
Also, Like you said, VIVABONITA, I give out the meds/tx. I actually have a med aid to help me. Can you talk more about your experiences as a new nurse in LTC? I've never been in a supervisor position...
Oh no, I'm not supervising the other nurses! lol I guess I'm only "charge nurse" in my unit. My preceptor repeatedly said to me that I should never hesitate to call for help or assistance from the...

I just posted a topic about this and then I see this topic! I just graduated LVN school and will take my boards soon. I'm in Dallas, TX right now but I plan to move to Manhattan within the year. I'm...

Just bumping this thread. I just finished lvn school. I know I have to work for at least 1 year before applying here but I really want to attend this school. Any graduates or current students, please...
