   treeloc replied to BA.LVN's topic in LPN/LVN

   HI there! It's been a while since, i've been online. Yea, it's the pits! I read what everyone's opinion is. The fact here is that everyone's "walk to hospital" work is different. Sometimes it's mere chance or luck. I never had luck on my side and any...

2. LVN......applying for CNA jobs

   treeloc replied to BA.LVN's topic in LPN/LVN

   The only solice I get in this whole matter is that I'm not in the boat by myself. You would think with the shortage of RNs that LVNs would be the resource needed to lighten the work load of the RN. It's the patients that suffers when this happens. ...

3. LVN......applying for CNA jobs

   treeloc replied to BA.LVN's topic in LPN/LVN

   I"ve always wanted to work the ER. I was trained by Companion Hospice as an admission's LVN but found that it was more PR than anything else and the waiting for paperwork to be done was waaay too time consuming. Visiting hospice work would be fine bu...

   Hello and Happy Thanksgiving, I'm finding that this is a major dilemna! I graduated in 2005 and without that 1 year of acute care (not being able to use my clinical time)no hospital will employ me. It is very defeating. I get soo depressed about the ...

   treeloc replied to skpklpn's topic in LPN/LVN

   I don't know if you know about something called an umbrella. The way I understand it, any given facility, if they train their MAs to give injections, then, they can do exactly that but only in that facility, the same thing applies to LVNs. I work wit...

7. Help me!! After passed Nclex- LVN..but I can not find jobs Los Angeles

   treeloc replied to LVbabyhuman's topic in LPN/LVN

   Hi Again, If money isn't an issue home health agencies are always in need of LVNs. If you have any friends already in a hospital, see if they can get you in. I can't impress upon you how important getting that 1 yr. of acute care is. Los Angeles hosp...

8. Help me!! After passed Nclex- LVN..but I can not find jobs Los Angeles

   treeloc replied to LVbabyhuman's topic in LPN/LVN

   Hi There! I know the pickle you're in. I graduated back in 05. No one told me, my teachers etc., that you have to have 1 year of acute care, LTC or clinical office experience to get a GOOD job. I made the mistake of going into assisted living right a...

   Hello fellow California LVNs, I spoke to a nursing recruiter from the major hospital in my area which is Corona. As I have written before, I am having an awful time looking for hospital work. I was informed that most hospitals are not hiring new or e...

    Wow! OH. is bad. Well to reply to both of you, I can only get home health and alot of them want that same year of acute experience. SNFs want 1 year of experience also. I definitely agree with your statement of an over abundance of LVNs in southern c...

    treeloc posted a topic in LPN/LVN

    I've worked assisted living for a year. This was a mistake. I should have gotten into acute care immediately after coming out of school. Now I can't get a job without 1 year of acute care. In Los Angeles there are places that will take you but here i...

    treeloc replied to christineb1213d's topic in LPN/LVN

    I congradulate you on your success. I have been going through the same thing since 2004. I need that one year of acute care experience. I did clinicals at UCLA and that doesn't seem to count for a thing. They'll take a RN-no experience before they ta...
