I got my LPN about 6 months ago and I've been having a hard time finding a job that isn't SNF/LTC. Now I see post on here saying I shouldn't do corrections because it's way too many patients for med pass and you can't tell yet if someone is faking it, school nursing/ home health/hospice won't be a good option because you will be alone and that's too risky as a new grad, and don't even get me started at the hospital because they won't hire you without experience. Medical offices don't really hire LVNs and prefer MA's and when they do, they require 1-2+ years experience. But then someone else would say don't go to SNF because you have way too much patient load for being a new nurse, and you'll risk losing your license. So what is it really? Maybe before telling new nurses "don't do that," we could hear what it takes to be good at it. If you've worked in corrections, school nursing, home health, hospice, or SNF as a newer nurse, what helped you succeed? What skills should we build, what questions should we ask in interviews, and what would you do differently if you were starting over?   submitted by   /u/heybeluga2222 [link]   [comments]
