Dearest voneek, thanks for your reply. As I am writing this I have no idea what im doing tomorrow as I have not heard from anyone from the company. The nurse Im training with is great, but she has her patients and her schedule. We only saw two patients today and we were done by 11am. Drove home and started searching again. I know I should stick with it, I jut feel like im wasting time and not to mention gas!!! I have exhausted ALL my resources, Ive called and emailed everyone I know for a lead or a referral...Not sure what tomorrow will bring. Again, thanks alot for your advice. I might just might start looking for medical billing as for this field I am a pro.

Hello my fellow nurses! An update on my job hunting...Well, I finally got hired at a home health agency, but found out I wont be getting paid for my training!!! GREAT!!!! I just started and already bad news... what to do? should I stay or should I go..? Im afraid if I leave I wont find another job but if I stay.... Will this company take advantage of my unexperience? Please advise...

OH WOW!!!! I am glad to hear that there are jobs out there that nurses fall in love with. I am hopeful I will find a job and soon. I am a bit scared as I feel Im already forgetting some stuff. I know it will all come back :)... Praise the lord!! Allejuah!!! God bless! :)

Hi caliotter3, It good to know! I will look in to it. something is better than nothing. Thanks!!

Dear SquishyLVN, I have applied, I got an email back stating, "thanks for applying" and so far, still looking. I have pt care as a medical assistant, do you think this type of patient care is something I should emphasize????!!! Here is the thing, I work as an MA many years back, nothing recent. What a dilema! Thanks!

You see! you're already on your way!

I am currently unemployed, family members are helping me and I thank them for that. I read on a previous post where a nurse went to neaby nursing homes and got job interview. I am seriously planning on doing that. I think if anything at least I can see if anything else is " open" I just need that famous "one year experience" that all employers require. I know I am a good worker and extremely dedicated to my job. So, that is my next move. I am starting on monday morning. I am re-vamping my resume using better paper that sort of stuff. Trust me , Spanish is the most easiest language to learn, me you will be speaking it before you know it!!! Thanks again for replying. I thank you for this, it brings up my moral...:)

Dearest jjic3982, Thanks so much for your reply. As a matter of fact I am fluent in spanish. I usually emphasize that, hoping it would at least give me the opportunity to interview. So, far nothing. I see its gonna be a struggle and like I said im really starting to regret this career change. I will most definetly keep my fingers crossed and keep applying. Im not going to give up. Im just a bit dissolutioned with the job hunting. Ive been told by my family members not to give up, I am considering going back to medical billing and forget about my nursing career. As for pvt care, I would be more than willing to apply for that type of work. anything! thanks again!!

Hello everyone, It seems that LVN jobs are getting harder to find. Especially as a new LVN. I have no experience as an LVN but do have knowledge of the medical field. I started out as a medical assistant and I did that job well for over 5 yrs soon after I began to do medical billing which lasted about 8 yrs. I soon realized I wanted to go back to school and ended up going to nursing school.( I am starting to regret this decision) . I graduated in 09/ 09 but got my license in 02/2011. I went through personal issues but finally took and passed my NCLEX. I am having a hard time finding a job. I am hoping some one guides me or helps me out with some leads. Believe me, I have applied at doctors offices, convalescent homes, agencies with no help. All these places need at least 1 year experience. I live in southern calif/orange county. Thanks for letting me vent:)

I am in the same boat!! Everywhere I apply is mostly experience. How can I gain experience if I dont get hired. Im seriously thinking about out of state work. If I have my license in CA, how do I transfer my license to another state?
