Thanks for the advice. I guess the problem is I don't really know if I want to do this (nursing) and that may be coming through in my interviews. I don't want to work in a nursing home, but I more or less have to to get some experience. I guess my my question now is do I go back to places that either told me they filled the position already or did'nt hear from them or go to new places to apply. The dilemma is most new places are at least a half hour drive away and there are not that many left.
The one place I should go back to is right down the street. I did clinicals there and had an interview a couple months ago. At the time I was'nt too eager to get in there as the pay was'nt the greatest and FT was only 32 hours. She said she would contact me in a couple days and if she did'nt, I could call her. Well, I never did call as I was hoping to find a "better" offer. Thinking back, I should have called. Now I don't know if I should since they are not advertising for help. Think I should call them back and a few other places and see if they have part-time openings? It would probably be good to start that way to get your foot in the door. I'm not sure what to say though why I waited so long. Also if I have another interview, what to say why I have'nt got an LPN job yet in the 5 months I've been out of school. I know I should'nt say I've been looking for the "perfect" job or that nobody would hire me.
A classmate suggested I say I took a break for awhile after passing the boards and not mention I worked at the one place for a couple weeks. Sound reasonable?
