I often wonder if we will actually run into a surplus in heath care and jobs will be hard to find. I know in Nova Scotia it's not hard to find work as an LPN but it's hard to get positions due to the increased number of grads every year I suspect the future here for LPN grads looks very bleak as far as finding full time work positions. Most of our RN's move away and though some say its for better pay and benifits the majority leave because there are very few positions available that are full time. It seems to be the way of the world no one wants to hire a full time staff when they can fill it with a few people they don't have to pay benifits to and often they will subsitute and LPN in place of an RN where years ago they would have bulked at the idea saying it would be unsafe...sometimes it still is unsafe but the mighty dollar seems to be more important then the people involved. I hope with all the push on creating more heath workers in highschools they start focusing on creating better work places to put them in.
