Thanks first for reading this, its going to be long.
I'm moving from El Paso, TX to Virginia Beach, VA to be with my boyfriend and go back to school. I am looking online for LPN jobs, and I'm trying to find something thats the right fit for me.
Most of my experience is supervisory/management experience. I am currently doing the job of an RN for the Army (DOD) as a Behavioral Health Nurse Case Manager for Redeployment, but have worked in Jails/Prisons as a Clinical Supervisor, Charge Nurse, I have worked in LTC as a Charge Nurse on a skilled hall and as an ADON, I have taught skills at an LPN Nursing and NA Program, also worked at a LTAC hospital on Med/Surg and step down ICU (trachs/vents)
I have made between 19-27/hr here, and I understand that LVN/LPN's have a more limited scope of practice and make less in that area.
Does anyone have any recommendations??
I am not opposed to working the floor again, either in hospital or LTC, but I just don't want it to look bad on my resume either, to go from a Nurse Management position to a staff position either.
I know I'm spoiled now, with working M-F 0730-1600 and holidays etc off, so its ok if you tell me that I won't find anything like that in the area, I just don't want to take too many steps down, as I am going to be going back for my RN/BSN and then NP.
