writing down questions is a great idea. I have a feeling I would have forgotten what to ask. thanks.

thanks so much for your comment :)

I just got a call from a nursing home that I got an interview tomorrow morning and Im very excited and very nervous. This is my first interview for LVN position. Im wondering if anyone can give me any advice or the type of questions I might receive to prepare myself and what questions I should be asking her. thanks.

thanks so much for the advice. You guys having giving me more ideas. I wanted to continue with my studies for rn but with the economy going sour I need to work and it seems getting my cna would be cheaper and faster that could also help me get working in a hospital. But Im definitely going to try harder redo my resume, network and be more persistent. Im very hopeful.

Im having trouble finding a job as an LVN. I graduated in august 2008 and didnt take the test until april of 2009. I know that was a lot of time but my fear got the better of me but I did pass. Im a person who lets my fear keep me from trying. I honestly did not try to find a job until 2 months ago. I thought that getting a job would be easy since I keep hearing we are in high demand. But I was wrong once I noticed that I havent received a call for an interview. I been looking at hospitals, nursing and convalescent homes but still nothing. Not even my family who are lvn, rn, cna and rt can help me. I just dont have the experience and wasted my time. I feel stuck, and frustrated. I truly need advice on my next step. should I continue looking? my sister who is a cna tells me that I should become a cna and get a job soon as i graduate and then once a lvn position is open, I should jump at the chance. Im even considering moving to another state but not sure if I will have the same problem. Is there another state that truly is in demand for lvn? Did anyone else have the same problem? any advice would be greatly appreciated. thanks.
