This past week several nurses and other medical support personal were laid-off. I was always told that the medical field was a sure bet in finding and keeping a job. With some many nurse reaching retirement age and the "baby -boomers" reaching the age where more medical services will be required, I am confused. Is it a matter of higher patient to nurse ratio? or are people getting smarter about their health? The local vo-tech is cranking out LPNs and the community college is turing out ADNs and other medical support personel as fast as they can. What gives and where will all these people work? Thanks!

Yes I AM an LPN, but I still know what I doing...thank you

I have held my breath and still had 18 - 20 RR charted!

Dr. Harry Hole..no kidding:D

that sounds expensive

First, I'm new to Allnurses.com. Years ago, I attended nursing school but did not finish, after years of dead-end jobs. I am thinking of attending Walter's State Community College in Morristown, TN. My questions are: Is the program @ WSCC a good one? Will I be able to find a job after I complete the program? Thanks and have a great day! Barb:)
