Actually, I don't think you sound immature at all. It seems like you saved money, thought he had a job lined up. I don't know what size city you live in, but has your boyfriend looked at temp agencies? That would be a good way to get his foot in the door somewhere.  |

Maybe he can take one of those quick Continuing Education classes at the local community college. LPN classes only last about 2 months...  |

Sending positive thoughts your finance finds work soon! I agree with Kelly it seems you thought things out, and it is sad he has been unable to find work. Continuing education is a good idea, LPN is more like a 9-12 month program....but he would be eligible for students loans which would cover his living expenses....  |

There are some short term classes, like phlebotomy, that only take a couple months. Around here LPN (I might be wrong on actual title) just takes about two months, they essentially learn how to feed, turn, and clean up the residents. Around here you get no reason not to go to school, the school will actually pick you up and carry you there and back. |

Girl...I've been there! No, not the exact situation, but the long term long distance. It is no fun. My now husband and I spent 4 years at least 2 hours apart. It was SO hard and hurt with him being far away. we made it, I bet you two will be fine. are you still in school or does your job pay too much for you to try and move to be with him? Was always so frustrated that my bc never tried to move near me, and it took me 4 years to get to him. Like you, i had no option to move without a job because of loans and such. I know it doesn't help much, but hang in there. I'll send some good thoughts your way so maybe he can find work much sooner than later!!   |

Thanks so much everyone.. Kelly, I live in Houston, which is why I thought it would be a piece of cake for him...but I guess there are just too many applicants, it's hard to stand out. We will give the temp agencies a try, and look into short classes for him! I'm scared, but I can't give up yet!  |

I just read the second highest employer in the country is a Temp agency! That's insane, but not surprising. Employers are terrified of the new Healthcare law. Maybe things will loosen up now that implementation has been postponed for a year. My mom just got laid off because of it. |

I'm not sure about in TX but here the phlebotomy certificate consists of two classes and an internship so it doesn't take very long but you also have to buy a bag for each of the two classes and here it costs $300 for each bag (they include needles, tubes, coban, gauze, and other random stuff you need for the classes). Certified Nursing Assistant classes are 8-12 weeks, CNAs usually work in nursing homes and most nursing homes would love to have more male CNAs (at least that is what I've heard around here). Licensed Practical Nurses usually work in hospitals and Dr. offices and LPN classes tend to take 12-18 months but RN classes are 2 years and pay more and the LPNs I know have all said it would be worth the extra few months of school to just go a head and become an RN. If your fiancé is interested in the medical field though EMT jobs are usually available everywhere. It is one class, takes about one semester and then he would have to take the state or national registry tests, one is written and one is hands on. I hope it all works out for you guys!  |
