Thank you, I appreciate your input/advice. Our hospital does hire LPNs, but I haven't had any luck getting a job there. Maybe because of my lack of experience and the length of time after graduation, not sure. What you have mentioned above about the patient load and minimal training is my greatest concern.

Hi! I graduated Lpn school in 2014, but have not worked as a nurse yet. After graduating and passing the NCLEX, I had my daughter, who I decided to stay home with. Now that she is older I'm wanting to work part-time. My question is, do you think it's been too long since graduation to begin working or should I do a refresher course first? I've been in mom mode so long, my confidence in what I have retained from nursing school is very low. I was a nervous student to begin with and I'm terrified to work, but at the same time I want to. I have an interview at a LTC facility next week. Has anyone else waited to work after graduation?
