I'm so excited! I interviewed last Thursday with a small detox clinic and got the job offer today!!! I'm so happy!! I've been searching for about 2 months and was getting discouraged & I'm so relieved that I'll finally be able to start my career!!!
I really thought I'd start out working in LTC like the rest of my classmates, but that's ok. I'll take the opportunity! The Clinical Director was so nice. I felt so comfortable interviewing with her. I met a couple of the nurses after my interview & they seemed great, too!
Orientation is the 26th & 27th. I'll get the details then. The director told me they have new nurses shadow for a full month, or until they feel like they're ready to go on their own. That's so cool & such a relief to me!! I'm so excited. And scared!! I hope I can meet all their expectations within a reasonable amount of time!
Congrats!! :) So happy for You! I know the feeling- I felt like that too. I just landed a new job too and am in orientation.. I'm excited but super nervous!!!
Thank you so much, everyone!! I gave my notice to both of my part-time jobs (will be so nice to work one full time job with benefits). I have to have documentation of a recent TB test and a fingerprint card to take to orientation with me. I started the TB test yesterday & need to get to the police station this week for the fingerprint card. Between that, my classes, and my final week with my p/t jobs, this will be a busy week!

CONGRATS!!!
I am an LPN too and just got my first job in LTC like 2 weeks ago. Hopefully I am starting this week. Background check is taking forever to come back cause I have lived in more than one state. Blah!
