thanks for the replied. does anyone know how much is the highest lvn get paid working at adult day care?

how much does LVN make an hour at ADULT DAY CARE???

I am thinking of to become an rn. but community college required 1 year of acute lvn experience as well. plus I dont wanna jump into taking an RN because i know its also hard to find a job. plus i dont think my parents will argree to it the fact that they feel like i wasted times/ financial to becoming an lvn and nothing happend to it...arghh...i feel soo hopeless...is there any place that is willing to teach you or you can volunteer as an LVN to gained experience. because a lot of volunteer hospital doesnt let you pratice lvn.

i graduated 2 years ago. and pass my licenses for almost a year now. and until now i still have no luck finding my first job as a lvn. is it still possible that i can find a job. i feel so down since i know when they look at my resume. i graduated 2 years ago still have no experience for almost a year now since i got my license...any suggestion? i dont wanna give up . most place required 1 year experience and now its beena year now since i got my license and still no luck of finding a job. please word of encouragement will be helpful and any SUGGESTIOn of what should i do...thank you and god bless.
