look for nurse internships, too. I don't know if they're usually RN's , but that's how I got in the OR specialty..by doing a internship. I know they've got them for OB, ICU, TELE, etc. So search for those..

I was warned...by the school. When I was interested in nursing school ( in MD ) there were many folks who warned me that unless I wanted to work in a nursing home, that most places now a days use RN's. They even said "look in the paper". I decided it was worth the extra semester to get that RN over the LPN if only to open more doors. I'm grateful, b/c now I see it's true! In MD, Ca, and NC I have yet to work w/ an LPN. Unfortunately I think you are very limited now with either nursing homes or maybe home health. Perhaps try Craigslist...there's many opportunities for private home nurses if that's an interest for you. Perhaps (ugh) you could go back to school for the RN??
