Starting your career as a Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) is a big step. You’ve worked hard in class, passed your exams, and completed rounds for patient care. But now comes the next step; finding your first job. That part can feel stressful, but the good news is CyberTex is here to help.
At CyberTex, we understand how important that first job is. That’s why we continue to help you until you find the right job for you. Our Career Services advisors prepare you for your job search and help connect you with local employers.
Training That Prepares You for Real Work
The LVN program at CyberTex prepares you for real healthcare settings. From day one, you will spend time in labs and clinical rotations practicing skills you will use on the job. You will learn how to take vital signs, give medications safely, assist patients with daily care, and communicate with doctors and registered nurses.
Helping You Find an Entry-Level Nursing Job
Graduating from nursing school doesn’t mean you’re on your own. At CyberTex, our Career Services team is there to guide you every step of the way. We help you get hired and start your career. Here’s more about how we help:
One-on-One Career Planning
Maybe you want to work with kids, or you’re drawn to caring for the elderly. Our Career Advisors meet with you individually to talk about your goals. Together, we build a plan to find the right type of job for you. If you’re interested in pediatrics, for example, we will help you look into local children’s clinics. If you prefer the fast pace of a hospital, we will connect you with local hospital networks that hire entry-level LVNs.
Building a Strong Resume and Interview Skills
Your resume and interview are your first impression. The Career Services team helps you prepare for both, so you stand out. We will help you highlight your strengths, clinical experience, and technical skills so employers can see you are the best person for the job.
We also offer mock interviews to help you practice answering common questions. You will get real feedback to help you build your confidence to be better at talking about your experience and training. By the time you walk into a real interview, you will know exactly what to expect.
Job Leads and Employer Connections
A big benefit of attending CyberTex is our local connections in Austin and Killeen. Our team regularly shares job openings and helps you contact hiring managers. These connections can give you an advantage as a new nurse entering the field.
On-Campus Job Fairs and Networking
CyberTex also hosts job fairs where employers come to meet students in person. These events are important for networking, asking questions, and getting a feel for different types of healthcare environments.
