Thanks pixie...

95% of the places I went to are LTC that is actually the area I would like to work in, however everyone wants 1 year or more of experience and other than my clinicals I have none :-(...thanks for your reply ad good luck as well...just wondering if I made a mistake....

I am a recent LPN grad in Connecticut, I passed my NCLEX August 8th and I have been filling out applications, dropping off my resume, sending out cover letters and no call backs. I am getting depressed because I have not gotten one call back. I feel like I wasted my time in school. I am just wondering if it is/was this difficult for any other new grads to get a job and how did you land your first job. I really am willing to take anything right now and work my way up, just need an opportunity.... Depressed New LPN

Thank you so much for this....I experienced so much of this crab in a barrel mentality since deciding to start school, especially with my choice of doing an LPN program instead of going straight for my RN...you do not know how inspiring this is to me...thanks again...

I gained a better understanding of myself being in school thought me how strong I am...being able to juggle classes, work, exams, clinical, etc made me a better person I am able to appreciate the smaller things in life...I lost some friendships due to my lack of availability but I believe I gained from that as well because no matter what true friends would want you to succeed and understand...
