I am a night owl and I do find that the first night is the hardest as well. I find it easier to work 3 nights in a row, and it allows me to switch to a day schedule on my 4 days off so I don't feel like a total hermit. Otherwise, you feel like you ...

I had that problem too. I just had to keep calling over and over again until I finally got through They sent my fingerprint card shortly after (about 2 weeks). So just keep calling until you get someone.
I work in an outpatient facility and it will be closing in 2 months. I only have 8 months experience. I can tell you that the job hunting situation is looking pretty sad for me as well. In response to the previous poster stating that there are mor...
