 Im having trouble finding a job in los angeles as an LVN. I graduated in august 2008 and didnt take the test until april of 2009. I know that was a lot of time but my fear got the better of me but I did pass. Im a person who lets my fear keep me from trying. I honestly did not try to find a job until 2 months ago. I thought that getting a job would be easy since I keep hearing we are in high demand. But I was wrong once I noticed that I havent received a call for an interview. I been looking at hospitals, nursing and convalescent homes but still nothing. Not even my family who are lvn, rn, cna and rt can help me. I just dont have the experience and wasted my time. I feel stuck, and frustrated. I truly need advice on my next step. should I continue looking? my sister who is a cna tells me that I should become a cna and get a job soon as i graduate and then once a lvn position is open, I should jump at the chance. Im even considering moving to another state but not sure if I will have the same problem. Is there another state that truly is in demand for lvn? Did anyone else have the same problem?
