Hello quittaRN, ASN I am an LVN with 2.5 yrs experience also relocating to Houston some time this summer I will be following this post as I have a 5 year old and her education is a top concern of mine. I am an LVN and I have no idea where I will work as of yet but im looking for an LTACH to gain some good experience. I have began to lurk and stalk this site for job leads and first hand info about good and poor places to work as i really have no desire to go to the nursing home as a primary source of income.

hello all, I'm looking to relocate to houston in the next 6 months or less. Currently I have 2.5 years experience as an LVN. Recently i went to a .gov job fair and got offer a position. The security background and the entire process has been slow. i know the gov offers lots of benfits worth the wait...... Trying to get a feel for the houston area job market within both the govt (federal and state) and the private sector to include pay.

Where are you working?

Im in Fayetteville, NC working homecare for maxim I make 18.50 hr no shift diff and very few paid holidays. I have 18months experience however I made 19 at a local assisted facility.

What city is this in texas I need some job prospects in texas pls.

i am a new lpn moving to the dmv area to attend career training solutions lpn to rn program. i have previous experious and would like to know where i should apply that would appreciate my rn once it is complete.

so how is the program at career training solutions working for you? i am also moving to the area for the program so pls tell me your thoughts.

so how do you like the program since starting in March. Im considering attending and was wonder what is the the lpn validation course???

how are you enjoying the program. I am a lpn looking to do one of there programs either the lpn to bsn or the lpn to adn. i have researched the prereqs. and I am only lacking my science classes.

are you doing the lpn to rn program???

im am also considering MCI i only have a chemistry class left to take. are you taking your prereqs. there if so how do you feel about the prereq. classes.

@ lifeisgood2012 have you found anything yet? i am also relocating to theNC area from texas where they hire LVNs on the spot so i know your frustration as in NC it really helps to know someone to get a leg up on what facilities are hiring and willing to give a nurse a shot.

was it difficult getting a position at a Va (veterans administration) clinic. I am asking because I am also very interested in getting work in the virginia area and at a Va facility because of their benefits.

I'm looking to Relocate to Va what area of Va. Are you in?

can you explain what exactly does an EMR consultant do as a nurse, are you showing companies how to transition into the electronic age, and what are the experience requirements.

Just reading your post has me on edge. Im a student nurse due to graduate in a month...... WOW life just got scary

hello sarahnancy, I am writing to see how everything is progressing with your homecare company. I live in texas also and i am also interested in starting a healthcare agency myself. You can PM me to talk more if i can be of any assistance to you as i learn how to start a HH company myself.

i am also interested in the ecpi lpn program but the october class, let me know how you ladies like the program

aside from the cost what did you think of the program? do they accept transfer credits? im in lvn school in texas @ a affordable cc but im just in a terrible place in my personal life and may need to relocate so im trying to find out my options

in my opinion it will be easier to get a job as a cna and the pay isnt high usually about $10/hr but it can get your foot in the door at a hospital where as i think the demand is lower for ekg/phle as hospitals will cross train their current employees

[ Hello i am also in the lvn program at ctc i think we may be in the same class lol:cool: quote=mysstorey;4579204]I am so excited to be tying this. I am in for Jan 2011. I will be going to CTC in Killeen. I have to do the whole background check, drug test and physical thing. I have all my shots and everything already. I just have to turn them in. Congrats to everyone that will be starting and I hope we can all depend on each other for support while we ride this roller coaster.

I believe to be a good nurse u must have a desire & passion for it

Healthcare is real life, it can get dirty often but we should all do our best in clinicals to make the patient feel comfortable knowing that their receiving care from a confident professional in training. Meaning running from a bed pan is not appropriate.

I agree with the previous post saying working in the Hospital is the best job for learning while earning. Networking is always an edge over an unknown person so remember to always be @ your best!

Hello nursing students, I dnt begin my program until Jan.2010 so pls post weekly if possible & I've been advised to read before class & again to not fall behind in your work
