Thanks for the info :)

Interestingly, the OP also looked into relocating to Washington state as recently as a few months ago. It is as if this person is picking places on a map at random. (S)he should probably remain in Louisiana and accrue several years of experience to become marketable before making any moves out of state. I'm from BAKERSFIELD. I GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL IN LBC. I have Family in BOTH WA & CA. That's why I've picked those places.... I'm moving to California in December. If I have to work as a Tech, I will until a LVN Position is available. I have no problem with the limited scope, because I'm going back to school for RN in JAN. My End goal is MASTERS. I'm just Looking for stepping stones. LPN in LA SCOPE DOES EVERYTHING A RN CAN EXCEPT pushes, initiate BLOOD & the INITIAL ASSESSMENT.

I also would like to know less expensive schools in Bakersfield, Ca. LPN TO RN BRIDGE

I want to move to California, I was wondering how long does it take to endorse? I am also TERRIFIED THAT I WON'T BE ABLE TO GET A JOB W/N 2MONTHS. Whats the starting pay, & how much is the rent in Kern County area. Im in Louisiana now,,,,, Im trying to leave. Any advice would be appreciated. Jus graduated in May. Work now in a Hospital on a Cardiac Floor.

Puget is too far for me to drive. How many weeks exactly did it take for Washington to endorse you? Do you think it possible for me to get a job by August as a New LPN GRAD. I'm filling out applications now. THANKS IN ADVANCE!

THANK YOU SO MUCH THAT HELPED!!! I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER:) Definitely going to USE YOUR ADVICE

Thanks for replying! Nice to know I'm not Alone. Let me know anything you find out PLEASE!

I'm a New LPN grad living in Louisiana I'm moving to Vancouver, Washington. I need any info about employment!!! How long is the Endorsement process? What are good schools for RN? THANKS :)
