Thank you all for the responses. I've been looking in the the local paper and on online job sites and haven't found a lot of ads for LVN positions. This concerned me a bit, but it is good to hear that there are people in my general area getting jobs. texasg67...I live in Temple area so it was especially nice to hear that you found a job so quickly. This seems (to me) to be a good area to live if you want a job in the medical field. Like I said in original post...I'm still preparing (studying for NET-PN) to get in to LVN program at TC. I just wanted to make sure it's not a waste of time or $. Thanks!

Thank you! That's exactly what I was looking for!

Hello to all~ I've recently made a decision to go back to school to be a LVN and am hoping to attend the Temple College (Central Texas) in June of 2010. I just missed this time around. My questions is...After I put in all the work in to become an LVN, is it going to be hard to find a job? I realize it's different in every area, but after reading A LOT of the posts on here and reading some other internet sources it seems as though LVNs are being phased out. Am I wrong about this? I thought there was a nursing shortage...or does this only pertain to RNs? I would appreciate any thoughts on this...especially, but not only, if you live in the central Texas area. I've never worked in the medical field, btw...but it is something I'm very interested in. Thanks!
