Hello everyone:

I have just returned from vacation from California, and I'm now back in Oklahoma. I picked up the LA Times and the San Francisco Chronicle while I was out there. It was scary to see that there are VERY few LVN jobs opening listed in the newspapers. Why is this?? Are there really no openings at all right now? Or would I go through agencies to find work? What are the best agencies to work with?

I'm not needing work right this moment, I'm trying to get prepared for when my brother and I will be moving out there. Also I read in this forum that northern Calif. is better than Southern Calif. for LVN pay. Can someone confirm this? What kind of a difference in pay is there? I would be looking for pay time LVN work. Do you think a new graduate would have trouble finding part-time employment?

Thank you,

DebbieMarie
