Hi, I'm an LVN, had my license for 15 months and have little experience. I live in northern California and having a hard time finding work. I've applied at LTC facilities, everywhere that hires LVN's and they all want experience. What I'm thinking of doing is going backwards and get my CNA certificate and try to get experience that way. But then again, that would be CNA experience!! I feel like I'm running in circles! Also, I considered applying with caregiver agencies. Would that be a plus for experience for my LVN career?? Bottom line, I need a job soon. I would appreciate any and all advice. :)
