When to apply for a job?

I only have 7 weeks of school left and am wondering when exactly I should start looking at jobs? Is it okay to apply for a job while you still have a couple of weeks left? My goal is to have a job immediately after graduation. Is this possible?

What type of place are you looking at applying to? From my experiences with nursing homes, is that they usually have to fill the staffing need almost immediately. I applied at some nursing homes about 2-3 weeks before graduation and heard the same thing from all of them, "call us when you graduate!" When applying at a hospital, right now would probably be a good time to start because their application processes take much longer, like maybe 1-3 months before you actually start work.

Alot of people from my class applied and were hired on as CNA's in LTC until they passed their boards. Along the way they were shown how to work as a nurse when they too boards. Around here LPN's can only get jobs in LTC and clinics. If you can get into a hospital and work as a CNA until you get your license that would be great too. Some places would do it, some wouldn't.
