Trouble getting hired in hosp??

[suziel]

Hi Everyone i live in GA having the same problem I was trying to get into traveling, but again with the experience thing. With the other question about college network, dont go through them go directly through excelsior. But find out from your home state if they will let you sit for the boards after going through school with them. Also, for the CPNE there is a 5 to 6 month waiting list. So if it it is going to take all that time, sometimes a regular campus education is best, but again it is what works for you and your schedule.

Hi!
I am a LVN/LPN with four years acute care hospital experience. I work throug an agency to be able to work at a hospital here in california. Its not possible to get hired anymore, and even as a rn new grad, my friends aren't being hired. When I asked the telemetry nurse manager who I basically work for full time with my agency, he said that they would not hire me as a RN because we LVN/LPNs were still considered new grads. It was a bit easier in North Carolina wher I got most of my experience in hospitals...I can not find a full time LPN job out here in california, and am looking to bartend to make ends meet.

Can any of you considering moving? Florida hires LPN's in the hospitals.
