Thnk you all!

I suppose I should mention (if it matters) that I have been a Medical Assistant / Technician for 6 years in many medical settings..I don't know if you have had previous medical experience prior to your LVN. I see many jobs on indeed.com, craigslist, etc .. it may mean driving a few extra minutes but the jobs are there, seemingly...

Thank you all! I actually am in contact with the Nurse Recruiting MANAGER at UCLA who told me as soon as I havve my CA license, apply as they will take New grads or 6 month experience for Sr LVN .. fingers and gurtles crossed.I will probably also apply to every nearby Ltc, dialysis center and MedSpa.

Nursel56,Thank you for the more positive feedback - however, I am not from a foreign country, I am from New York.I am doing licensure by endorsement - or, do you think it better I take the NCLEX in Cali/? Sorry for typos btw keybord is malfunctioning.I also heard cosmetic and dermatology pratices seek LVNs due to cost....

Thnk you for the feedback..but moving is not really an option. So, rather than tell me all the negataive, give me Something!wheree is best to look - clinics, kaiser, ltc, hh/agencyAnd why is RN bridging difficult/

Hello fellow nurses :-)I am a new graduate in NY from an accredited LPN/VN program, and I will be relocating to L.A. in mid Fall, after a few months of Dialysis nursing experience (accepting a job). I have two questions really:1). I am looking to do LVN to RN probably starting in Spring 2013 - where should I look to do this if I am living in the Sunset + Vine area of LA? I've heard a lot about Hybrid programs that do a lot online -- I am looking for ADN for now..2). As an LVN, what is the best place to work in LA in terms of maximizing income? My overall goal is to work in cosmetic dermatology or plastic surgery..though I will work next to anywhere as a new nurse to gain experience and $. Any advice from you Cali people would be great! Thanks in advance!-Joey
