Where do you want to work as an LPN?

Published

Even though I have along time before I even finish school I have already started researching what type of places and jobs I want. I really want to work in a dialysis clinic, this is my first choice. My second choice is to work in a rehabilitation clinic. My third choice is to work as a methadone nurse. I really don't want to work in a nursing home.

WHAT TYPE PLACES ARE YOU FUTURE NURSES LOOKING TO WORK? I would love to know!!

I graduate on Thursday I would like to do a specialty rehabilitation center or a drug rehab I also have been pondering pediatrics!!! Who knows!!!! No set dream job I just wanna learn as much as I can at different places !

I think I would seriously consider moving to work in the new Children's hospital after it has been built. Peds could be very interesting.

I graduate in October and it keeps me up at night trying to decide where I want to go in my career. Really don't want to do the nursing home gig, thinking maybe dialysis but not sure if I'd like it. the county hospital by where I live has a large dialysis unit, was thinking if I got in there and didn't like it being already in house might have the opportunity to bid on open jobs in other areas of this large hospital.

I haven't started my program yet but I think I would want to work at a long term facility where I could build relationships with patients and getting to know them. Of course, once I begin my program I might change my mind

All of the institutions I'm wanting to go to are very short staffed.

I only have one more semester to go before I finish and I have just recently started thinking about it. From the start I have always wanted to work in a hospital mainly for all I could possibly learn there but I am finding out that hospitals are not hiring LPNs much at all, at least not around here, so ltc would be my next choice until or if I decide to go back to become a RN.

I'm going to apply to all the places that hire LPNs in my area. I'll work where ever I get hired, and decide to be picky after I get some experience.

As an LPN I'm not being really picky with where I work. My plan is to provide safe and competent care where ever I land. Honestly, my goal is to get where ever the money is good. I decided to go the LPN route just to get into the field quicker. Once I become an RN, I would love to work ICU and even do home care. I really would enjoy ER, ever since I did a clinical in the ER, I've been craving the opportunity to go back. So once I finish school next month, I plan to hand in an application where ever it will be accepted! LOL Happy hunting everyone!
