Got My Dream Job!

Nurses LPN/LVN

Published

I got hired for the job I wanted in a clinic. Many nurses act like it isn't real nursing, but I am so happy to get this job. No more 12 hour shifts in LTC or a hospital, which were both frightfully understaffed. I hate the pay cut, but being happy means more to me at this stage in my life.

Awesome, all that matters is that you are happy with your choice. Congrats :)

Enjoy your new job and dont let those other over work nurses tell you it is not a real job. They are too busy working there 12 hour shift to be happy for you. Eventually, they will come around. :cool:

Go girl!!! Don't listen to grumpy nurses. Every nurse needs to find their niche. LTC simply wasn't yours. I also did LTC for 7 months and wanted to quit nursing. Now I do Clinic/Urgent care and I've fallen in love with nursing again. I am now planning to get my RN, now that was unthinkable 2 years ago!!!

who cares what others think, congrats! I had to take a 4 month break from nursing after leaving LTC. I thought I was done with nursing and was about to go to college for something else when a family clinic called me in for a job, and I love my career again. The pay cut is worth it every single day I dont have to walk into a LTC facility.

I did love my residents and cna's at LTC. The 2-10 shift was like a family. I just can't take the emotional and physical demands anymore. My youngest child just left for college, so this seems like the perfect time to get the job I really want. The hospital was almost an hour away and 12 hour shifts.

Congratulations! I'd love to find my dream job, but I don't know what it is. I currently work in LTC and its very close to where I live. With the way jobs are so hard to get these days I don't dare leave. One would feel like working in nursing, that you'd have pretty good job security, right? I don't feel that way where I work, seem to be lately they fire employees at the drop of a hat. It makes me wonder from one day to the next if I'll have a job or not. I do my job and do it well, but so have others that have been let go. I'm very pleased you got your dream job and I hope it turns out to be all that you want it to be. Once again, congratulations!
