HI, I'm a new LVN with a year and 4 months experience. I live in Temecula CA, (Southern California). I was told in nursing school that this field in recession proof and about all the jobs that were out there..... I have since found that, that is NOT the case. LVN have been fazed out of Hospitals and the facilities that do accept LVN's are few and far between and require 1-2 yrs outpatient care or acute care. Is anyone else other there experiencing the same problem. I love what I do but I'm beginning to believe RN is the only way to go! Sincerely, Frustrated In Temecula
