I had plenty of non-nursing work experience; but don't think non-work experience plays a big role in getting hired, but couldn't hurt.

Well I had an instructor named Mrs. ***** and she was very intimidating at first but once she got to know the class and we got to know her personality she turned out to be a cool teacher. Just don't goof off or take advantage of her and things will be fine. Like most schools/class being on time is always expected. I found a full time job 1 month after i revived my state license. Good luck and just stay focused.

I did not have to be "attracted" to study nursing so to say. I have always found science interesting and have always found myself watching those "reality" medical shows, Trauma in the ER, on TV as long as I can remember.

I suppose it is more than meets my eye. Would it be as simple as just having malpractice insurance? Sounds like there is still more risk that ought weighs benefit..

that bad huh?

Wow I can see I'm a rookie to this. Not sure if they will hire me as an employee or if that is their intent, I will ask these questions. I do not have malpractice insurance and did not think about the risks involved either! thank you for the heads up.

I'm LVN licensed and found an add looking for a LVN who can do house visit, Assisted Living house 6 bed, for insulin tx. The facility is just starting this service and is asking how much I should charge per house visit or injection. Please advise any opinions or experience.

I'm 3 weeks into new job at internal med facility and make around 3.2k a month; been an lvn for 3 weeks

Sorry to hear that, but yes I'm very thankful. I've been reading the LVN section about how new grads can't find work so that had me worried. If you do move to SD area my classmate found work at a home health agency that is very new grad friendly. Let me know and I can find out more info.

Thanks; My path to reach this point in life defiantly needed some positive luck. It has not been a fun or easy path at all.

I was very upset that state boards lagged on my license, I waited 3 more months than classmates. I received my license on Jan 6th and started applying for work asap; I applied online and in person. Two weeks later I got an e-mail reply from I medical facility I applied to via monster.com. The RN manager had me call her and we set up an interview. The interview went well and she was happy I was a new grad, no bad habits to deal with. Three days Later I get a call from her offering me the job! The pay starts at $20.06/hr; much better than the $12.75 I'm getting paid. Meeting up the their HR department to finalize some paperwork and then putting in my two week notice tomorrow. I guess all the waiting and frustration of not getting my license on time was worth the wait. I still cannot believe how quick I got a nursing offer.

OMG state board is so hard to get in contact with, it a joke. Was on hold for 40 min and I decided to hang up. I have e-mailed them with no response.. Thank you

I was approved for a LVN license in CA this past december. I sent the payment, check, and the required signed forms via fedex certified mail. It arrived at sacramento December 20th, check still has not been cashed. How Long do you think before check is processed and my license is posted online? I want to look for work already!

Thanks for dropping indeed.com down; They do have a lot of nurse job postings

I have been waiting as well. Got a letter from bvnpt set. 2010 stating I passed nclex but is pending for further investigation on my case, ticket for underage drinking 8 years ago. Just called my tech. this morning and she said my license is in the final process and to call at the end of the month, so much waiting! I would be so ****** off if denied because a classmate with a DUI already received her license! I think it's **** **** that someone with a DUI for can get their license before someone for a ticket for underage drinking, damn bottle 3/4 full.....
