I am set to start my lpn schooling in Fall '07. I want to work in a hospital. Ulimately in pediatrics or NICU. Are Cleveland/Akron hospitals hiring Lpns? or will I only find work in a nursing home? I already have a degree and dont have too many prereqs to finish to apply for RN school - even though the waiting list is outrageous. Should I go ahead and get my lpn or go for the RN? Thanks for your input!

I am waiting to start a lpn program in Ohio in the Fall of 07, but have been reading that hospital jobs are drying up for lpns. I really want to work in a hospital - preferrably the Cleveland Clinic. My dream job would be in pediatrics or NICU - which I assume there are no LPN jobs in those areas. Is there any hosptial jobs out there for lpn's in Ohio or should I just go for my RN. I already have a degree and do not have many prereqs to finish. There of course is a waiting list for the RN program. If I get the LPN will I be limited to nursing homes? Any advice would be appreciated.
