Here is my background, I'm based in the largest city in S. Central Ks. I have 9 mo's experience working as an LPN. 6 as charge nurse in a LTC wing of a nursing home. 3 as PDN Ped's. I have been applying to nursing homes on and off for the past 2 months and haven't been able to get a job offer. I have been getting interviews but no job offers. My question is what do I need to do to get the charge nurse job. I don't have 1 year of experience yet. I do have charge nurse experience in ltc but not skilled nursing experience. I am IV certified for lpn's.

Thank you for your advice.

Just as hospitals have stopped hiring LPNs, many skilled facilities have as well.
