As a new nurse, you are re-sponsible in driving your career and must be aggressive when it comes to the progress of your career endeavors.
As an LVN, you have the option of contacting a variety of facilities and/or type of employers.
The list below is only asmall list of facilities you have the opportunity to apply for once you have received your license:
Acute Care (Hospitals)
Sub-Acute Care
Long Term Care Clinics
Private Duty
The question depends on which type of employer or facility is best for you? Some questions which may help you determine the type of position you are after are:
What hours are you able to work? 12 hour/3 days per week; part time, fulltime?
What kind of facility allows you to utilize your nursing skills?
Is money your driving force or is there a specific type of nursing experience you desire?
Once you have more clearly defined what is important to your career at this time, you will make the best decision.
Many nurses also opt to work several part time jobs, which provides them with greater experience at a vari-ety of healthcare settings.
