No real place in mind to live, I just want to move to Oregon to be an LPN. Would I still have any luck finding a job here stable enough to support after a coast to coast move? I have 5 years experience and trying to get out of the east coast. It ...

Yes this is what I thought too but apparently in practice, this isn't the case. I do know what you mean, half the applications you can't progress without filling in your license number but I guess no one actually reads them in my experience. Thank ...

So you moved to WA without a job? Just wondering what methods everyone here used. I am currently out of state and trying to get a job in WA. I might have to move to WA because what is holding me back are the nurse recruiters assuming that I don't alr...

I have been applying to nearly EVERY listing on craigslist, 24/7! I never get a followup call or any response at all. I am also in the VA system and apply that way to no avail either! I don't even care really WHERE in WA the job is, I just want to m...

Yeah I've done all of that except not getting the interview part. Are you a RN because I'm a LPN. I actually even go to google maps and just call everyone, all 4 or so pages.

Thank you everyone! Sorry for the delay. I have been going to the hospital websites. I do realize hospitals likely won't hire me. I just do not want to work with an agency or home health because they are unstable and no benefits. I have been sendin...

Well I am a nurse (LVN/LPN) and my license is apart of the NLC. The Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) enables multistate licensure for nurses so can anyone comment on any of the following states as a nurse and if any of these are actively still looking f...

Jurisprudence wow really? I'm in a state with the Nurse Licensure Compact https://www.ncsbn.org/nlc.htm so does that still apply?

Anymore suggestions? LPN going on 5th year of experience here and clearly Seattle is dried up. Been trying for 6 months trust me. How is California? Portland? I'm on the East coast trying to escape.

Which is the best city in the tri? Is Spokane really that bad? Also can someone suggest good schools in either the TriCities or Spokane that is good for LPN to RN?

I see a bunch of jobs by places like providence and Swedish Medical Center but I've spent my summer applying to them along with many of the same positions that are STILL listed as open months later! Now all you see are temp flu shots positions. I n...

Hello I am in Virginia and planning to transfer. I recently got my finger print kit and I was wondering exactly how or who do I go to get this done? Also why does the process cost so much?? In total I would have spent over $180 in getting my licens...

hi we're just hoping to move some where in Washington state... Not just Seattle. We are terrified that we may not find a job anywhere as a LPN there. My dad is a newly grad LPN but he does do spinal and he has worked for another big hospital for 10...

Thank you VERY much!! I would have been expecting a totally different experience if I did not come here. I hope this thread can help others in the future. I have been able to find many jobs but without a license I can't be hired. I hope this proce...

Wow thanks, so the 8 week process is just to enter you in the system? I called the boards and they were gaving me the impression that I had to wait for something physical. I was even told I could get a "temporary license" a week or so before my rea...

We just sent off for the license. Will it matter if we don't have a physical license yet, but still in the system or will we HAVE to have a PHYSICAL license to get a job??

Oh wow I called them three separate times earlier this week and thats what they told me. Any chance they just started this?

When i called the WA board of nursing i was told i would get a temporary license of sorts while my info is in processing, is this true? I ask because when I applied at jobs and they tell me that they they never heard of it before.

thank you

Is easier in NoVA than RVA?

thanks also would spinal/neuro make a difference? Do the pay compliment the location you're working in?

Has anything changed? I see this thread is two years old..

this is a medical board..i do not understand the delay. all im looking for is a yes or no at least. can someone please answer me
