No job yet still looking, I am from a very very small town in ohio on the ohio river and jobs a scarce. I HATE OHIO, but I was born here and all my family are discuraging me not to move, but this is driving me crazy. I have been out of school sence august, took me 6 months to get the courge to take the big TEST, and now that I have passed the dag on thang now job hunting for a new grad here is worse. This is frustrating.

I don't know if my suggestion is possible for you. However, could you possibly commute to a large metro area that offers abundant LPN employment opportunities? I once lived in a city that had a bad job market, but commuted 120 miles each way to another city to take a job that offered 3 12-hour shifts per week. I got 4 days off in a row, so the commute was not that bad.

Good luck on your job hunt. Just keep looking, there has to be something out there. And you may have to consider increasing the commuting time that you thought would be ideal.

I live in a small town in Ohio too, and had a terrible time finding a job, b/c I thought I could do better out of town. Now I work LTC and part time MR/DD (both 5 minutes away) and I love both. I'm in town, finally got a place with 12 hour shifts, and make $3 more an hour than I was with a 1/2 hour drive. I was against working any LTC around here b/c I had heard the horror stories of people that I know that worked the ones here in town before. But I'm happy where I'm at. I just had to open my mind to it.

I am working with Supplemental Health Care a travel nursing company but nothing yet still doing the paper work. lol I may just put so applications around town, pay just sucks here. Supplemental Health Care said they have something in betava ohio that is $25 so that would be great if it works out. thanks to everyone who posted I appreaciate it.
