What states allow LPN/LVN in the hospitals??

[jeepgirl97]

Currently living in CT, am a 2+ year LPN. So far been working in long term care all 2+ years. Have grown tired of being in LTC. Would like to be working in a hospital setting, unfortunately in CT they don't hire LPNs in the hospitals. Just wondering what states have hospitals that hire LPN/LVNs??? Going for my RN is not in the cards in the near future, before anyone asks. Thanks for any help you can give me.

They do somewhat in Ohio although I have'nt been able to get in one. I NW Ohio they are laying off nurses right now. I did see that the Cleveland area hires them, but that's a long way for me. I know of one person from my nursing class that got in a local hospital, but that was more of a rehab facility.

florida hires LPN's in some hospitals and north carolina also hires LPN's in some hospitals. its a facility by facility thing, i think. but i've lived and worked as a LPN in the hospital in both states.
