After reading numerous things on why people don't get hired. I figured it must be my credit report. After getting laid off in 07, well life wasn't grand for me. After no one would hire me, because my lack of experience as a RN, and running out of savings, I lost everything and had to start over from scratch. I worked hard to do it too. I even worked my butt off to save up to buy a SUV with cash, so I wouldn't ever have to deal with having loans ever again. The banks well they never helped me in my down time. All of this wasn't my fault, it just happened.
It is really sad that something like this would happen. I have great references, am dependable, have certifications, etc. but, nothing seems to be working. I know the economy has a ton to do with it, but it is hard to hear that so and so acquired a position right out of nursing school. No offense, but it really boggles my mind. What I have worked so hard for only seems to be nothing in a hospitals book. When I was in nursing school my instructors always said, once you have a year experience in a hospital you are easy pickings. Not so in my case.
Interviews have been scarce. I have been told I don't have enough experience to do anything new. Or, one time I had an interview at an agency and she scheduled it during her vacation. Then, I had an interview and when she said I had the job, she then said I didn't she just wanted to know what I wanted an hour. It was quite low. She played more games after that.
Has anyone experienced this or know if this could be a fact in finding no jobs in hospitals?
I can't do much with my schedule, I have a four month old, we have that one car, and he works first shift. I really don't want to bother my mother with her having to watch her grandson. She is retired and well enjoying her time to herself. I landed a Per Diem job, but guess what no hours! Sigh... They didn't do a credit check of course, but I know the hospital does.
