Where can LPNs work other than nursing homes?

Joshlin it really depends on the area you reside. You probably want to do a job search on any type of clinic/medical group websites to see what positions they are hiring for. Some hospitals also manage clinics, so you could check hospital HR websites for job listings to see if they have LPN positions listed for other settings that would still fall under the hospital system. My state does have positions for LPN's, so you would want to check your state government job website which should be online for jobs....and search what positions are available. Any state jobs will be on their website, which would include corrections, health based jobs/programs (i.e. STDs, WIC, etc). Local health departments in my state have separate job listings on their website than the state government website. School systems also have job listings on the state Education website.

Those places will hire LVN / LPN, but most likely they will ask for someone who has experience. (Try http://www.indeed.com and enter your zip code). School seldom use new grad nurses (and yes, they use LVN / LPN, too) - only because they have no triage skills. They are not taught in school (same with RN). You have to be able to decide on the spot what to do and you are often alone in smaller schools. But of course, bigger schools / universities you will work with physicians who will oversee things.) Nevertheless they will need to draw blood, and that comes with experience, too, I am afraid.
