| Re: Hiring new graduate RN\'s Your years being an LPN are invaluable. Unfortunately, being an RN is different.. I was an LPN for 17 years myself. Glad I was an LPN certainly. Most travel companies require 1 year of experience in a speciality as an RN.. Some hospitals are now requiring 2 years.. They want someone who requires very little or NO orientation.. Good luck WR,,, three commas for Becca |

| Super Moderator | Re: Hiring new graduate RN\'s Hello Veda, When you become an RN it restarts the clock as far as experience goes. Try to find a job close to home where you can learn and polish your skills, then in a year or two you can start traveling and the sky's the limit. You can find some helpful articles and a list of agencies that use LPNs at: http://www.nursefriendly.com/traveler/ Wish you lots of luck. Andrew Lopez, RN |
