1. "Easy" LPN jobs

   misskesla replied to remrimsgems's topic in LPN/LVN

   "Easy" jobs in healthcare are hard to come by. I work in ER and we get our share of everything, maggots, scabies, lice, vomit, feces etc. I have some friends who work in an Eye Surgery Center and they like it but they all want to use their "skills" b...

   I think you have made a wise decision. I was an EMT/ER Tech for 5 years before going to LVN and I started RN school just 4 months after getting my LVN so it's doable and it does help keep you off all the waiting lists for RN in California right now! ...
