Wow. Not where I live. That's great!

LTC facilities, if considered skilled, have to have an RN in the building at least 8 hours a day. Ofcourse it is cheaper to hire LPNs to cover the rest and to maintain costs many facilities do this. Nevertheless, most LTC facilities have a high burn out in RNs and so just keep looking, something will open up.

Andre, first, thanks for your service to our country! I too was a medic in a big city, (Atlanta) and loved EMS. The money was bad so I moved away and went to nursing school and became an RN. Now I think it may be the worst job I have ever had. I miss EMS so much. Where I live there is only one ER and they never have an opening. Most hospitals require two years med surg before going to the ER and some require certification. Good luck but nursing and EMS are so far apart it is crazy. Stay near a big city where you will have more options when you get out of school.
