Feedback:
The first step the nursing student wanting to find a position as a LPN or LVN is to determine the area of nursing the student is most interested. Once the student identifies the area of nursing, the student may network with other students and nurses the student has worked with during clinical and use the network to keep the student up-to-date on any openings in a potential area the student is interested. Job listings on the Internet will give the student access to information about local, national, and international jobs. Area Web sites for health care facilities are only helpful if the student plans to start the career locally.
