I was kinda hoping to already have a job in place- so I CAN get a local address! haha I mean, I have people I could stay with, but I am SO ready to have my own place....u make a good point, though.

I'm a new LPN grad currently living in Cleveland OH, but I'm looking to relocate to Houston. I've been appling to numerous hospitals in the Houston area since the end of April, but no has called me. I am still in the process of getting my license transferred, so I'm guessing that has something to do with why I haven't heard from anyone. ??? Cleveland's job market is horrible these days, so I'm not expecting to find anything here. But I see SO many postings for LVN's in Houston...is there a hiring freeze there? I mean, once all my paper work is completed is there any chance of me getting a job- soon??

Does anyone know about Cleveland, OH? Went to my first job fair today, but of course pay rates didn't come up.....but I would like to know!

wow, your own Pyxis code...how awesome is THAT?? You are gonna feel on top of the world, I bet! MAN...I can't wait!!!

HAHA, I tend to have this "deer caught in headlights" look at the start of clinicals- according to my instructors. But usually by the second day, I would give injections and eye drops and pack a wound like I'd been doin it for years! (and that was a WONDERFUL feeling!) haha It was nerve wrecking THEN, I can't imagine what will happen when I'm doing it on my own. I can't wait, nursing has been my dream for years- can't see myself doing anything else. :loveya:

THANK YOU THANK YOU very much for sharing your stories! My plan is to try for the hospital I work @ now. I don't do patient care, but I was an aide for years, so I'm pretty used to the hospital setting. We did do 2 clinical rotations at a LTC facility and I really enjoyed it- but we were only responsible for passing meds to 3 residents. But I watched the nurse on duty the whole time, and the thought of having to get meds to 27 residents by a certain time blew my mind!! Didn't think I could handle that type of work....but I guess we"ll see. But for now- I'm just excited about graduating tomorrow.

So I took the nclex Monday, found out I passed Tuesday, and graduate Friday- it's been a VERY emotional week! I as passed on the good news to everyone, a friend of mine said "so now you have to get a job!" As crazy as it sounds, it hit me like a ton of bricks! I'm still in 'student' mode (we've only been out of school 2 1/2 weeks!), and the thought of having to go out w/o any of my classmates around scares me!! How difficult or easy will this transition be? How long before the butterflies go away?? I'm a little nervous!
-
NO WAY, seriously? That's a heck of a wait!! Were you studying while you waited? (I probably would've been too busy pulling my hair out!) Are you takin the nclex soon??
-
I cannot IMAGINE having to wait that long for results!! How can they get away with that????
-
Just breathe and take your time!! I caught myself missing key words in the questions b/c I was reading too fast. Good Luck to you!!!

From the previous posts I've seen on here, I guess Cali takes longer. ??? Not real sure. I'm in Ohio, and it says it'll take 2-3 days to post results- but mine was up today, a little over 24 hours after I took it. I'm guessing every state is different. Some people have waited WEEKS to find out- and that just isn't right!! OH and I guess on Pearson Vue they have the Quick Results 48 hrs after your test, for a fee, naturally. But it's worth it to find out, you know? MAN I hope you don't have to wait too much longer.
