So, I'm an LVN student that will be graduating in about two weeks. I've started my job hunt, and I've heard from so many people that they've gotten hired at various places. My problem? I want hospital, not nursing home. Evidently that's a sin. So I've sent a couple of resumes to hospitals, but to no avail. I've heard from no one, and I'm slowly but surely getting discouraged. I am getting disappointed in the healthcare field for making LVNs seem so ... useless? Dispensible? I don't know what word I'm looking for, but I'm angry about it! I hate that I have to look so hard when people are always going on about the shortage. I hate feeling this frustrated about it!
My point is, how do I try to control this stress? What can I do to put myself out there more than I already have? How can I compromise my job standards just enough to get a job without completely losing sight of what I want?
Maybe those aren't questions that a forum can help me answer, but if nothing else, I'm sure there's someone else out there who feels the same way that can at least give me some insight about controlling all this frustration.
xxo, C.
