I got fired today

Thanks for all replies. I have not applied for any new jobs, yet. I may be contacting my disability insurance company to see if they would assist me in taking some coding classes. My nursing positions are limited since I do have some physical limitations. I didn't listen to my drs. advice and tried my first job returning in a nursing home. I know that was a dumb move, as it was the most physical job that I have ever had, not to mention the most stressful. But, I thought that I would be able to handle it working just PT. After six weeks, I could no longer keep up. I was not getting a break, they were secheduling me for four days, instead of the three that I requested, and I would not get home until after 1 am. And, my family life was falling apart at the time. My adult daughter is an addict, and I was basically taking care of my 2 y.o. grandson when it was her week.(has joint custody with my grandson's dad) Now, she is set up to go to inpatient rehab.

Part of me would like to call up my former employer that I left years ago. I was thinking about calling him and asking if he had any per diem positions. Although, my family is not too crazy about that because I was always being called in to work. And, that is one of the reasons that he loved me so much. He had tears in his eyes when I left for medical reasons. He wanted to know what he could do to convince me to stay. But, I was wondering if I called him and explained to him that I could not put inthe hours that I used to. He gave me a glowing reference. However, this is just an option that I have on the table and probably not the best.

I accepted my last job because it was close to home and only three days a week. And no stress, until this last incident. I realize now, how my license was on the line working for that place. Funny, how my sister told me that this dr. was a quack, but I didn't listen. I guess this has been a blessing in disguise, but I would never ever want to jeopardize a patient. I guess all of these patients are in jeopardy. They only wait the first three times that they get their injections in the office. I got yelled at the one day that I had a pt. for 10 minutes after she was re-starting her injections. This was her third visit after re-starting. The nurse training me yelled that she had a long trip, and I should not make her wait anymore. I felt Because she had a long trip, all the more reason to make her wait. And, this lady liked to chat afterwards, anyways. It seemed like this nurse was looking for me to make mistakes. e.g. The one day she made a big deal that I forgot to turn on two lights when I opened up. She went around the whole office to look for anything that I may have done wrong. In the beginning she was singing my praises, but then it almost seemed like she changed her mind about leaving.

I will probably meet with vocational services through my disabiity insurance company to see what we come up with. Thanks for all of the replies. I will let you know if I find a job in the meantime.
