Can a LPN/LVN work overseas with their license?
You can work for the United States Government, like at a military base, or an Embassy. A license in any of the 50 states is acceptable. If hired though, they won't pay for your transportation over. You can look on the following website: http://www.cpol.army.mil for jobs on military posts. Not sure about embassys.

Huntsville
They don't have any inpatient services there now and even the clinics are run on a skeleton staff. However, Redstone is bringing in something like 4700 new jobs over the next couple of years, so the clinic should definitely grow. I spoke with the clinic commander a couple of weeks ago, and he says his hands are tied as far as hiring. I tried!

Alabama LPN Wages
Hey there! I am an LPN new to Huntsville Alabama. What are the wages like for an LPN with 7 years experience? I have worked for the federal government for the past 6 years, so I am out of touch with the "real world". Any information would be appreciated. When it says wages are "highly competitive", that doesn't mean anything to me. Help!

New nurse sent to Italy. How can I keep up with my field?
Having wanted to be a nurse since grade school, you can imagine my excitment at recieving my LPN license in 1999 at age 37. I worked for 4 months on a busy surgical floor before my husband recieved orders with the military to move to Italy. What now? The clinic here is very small with no LPN openings. I can volunteer through the Red Cross, which I do when I can, but with 2 children, I need to work elsewhere for the income. What will my resume look like when I leave here to return to the states? I want to get a nursing job, but will anyone hire me after a three year absence (basically) from the profession? I would continue my education but the opportunities here are very limited. What can I do to best prepare me to return to nursing in a couple of years? What can I do to keep my skills current? Any advice from anyone out there will be greatly appreciated! ------------------ Janet
