I too am in this similar situation. I started nursing school in Fall 2010. The first year of my nursing program is LPN and second year is RN. After the first year I took my LPN boards and worked LTC through the summer and into the first part of the RN year. (About 6 mons) LTC just wasn't really my niche and working and going to school was becoming to hard so I quit my job. The vast majority of my clinicals have been Med-surg and Outpatient surgery and I just don't really enjoy Med-surg as much as I thought I would. We're required to do a 120 hour precectorship before graduation and I chose OB because that's really where I've always wanted to work. I have fell in love with it and they currently have two job openings and I'll be done at the end of April. So, I'm really hoping that I'll be able to get a job there. However, as for long term plans FNP & WHNP are some things I've always been interested in as well. I'm going to start working on my BSN in the summer and it will take me a full year to complete, but where I venture from there into masters work I'm still undecided.

Whoa I'm shocked by this. That is very unfortunate. I begin a bridge program in August. Good Luck to you!

I just finished LPN school and didn't have any job finding a job. I think a great deal depends on if there is a nursing shortage in the area where you're seeking employment and a lot of times it's a lot to do with who you know.
