  2. Where can a 60 year old nurse get new training???!!!

    I was in home health and hospice. I just do not want to do the driving anymore and the tedious paperwork! It was very draining emotionally as well as physically. I have applied for a school nurse position. If God wants me back in nursing, He'll ...
  3. Oncology RN Forced to Resign

    Get yourself an attorney to represent you with the Board! I learned the hardway as a nursing supervisor set me up for her inept problems with nursing. I learned that I would never go to the Board again without a good attorney. There are great forme...
  4. Will someone please tell me where I can get trained in a hospital setting. I have not worked in the hospital since 1999! I took a refresher course at the end of 2009, with the hopes of going back to NICU, but I am almost 60 and being turned down by...

    Don't give up! I know someone that took her Boards three times years ago. She is now a Head Nurse! Some people freeze with testing!!!

    Does anyone know how the new healthcare law and national database on criminal records will affect nurses in Texas. Will the Board's decision about a nurse with criminal record overtake the national database? And does his national database affect h...

    This does not happen in Texas. I have never had 10 minute breaks at any jobs where I have worked. You get your lunch break and that is it! Anybody know how we can get these laws in Texas?

    Courage!! I think those parents made a terrible mistake, but everyone has to decide.
  9. Peds to Newborn Nursery?

    It is a great place to work. I have been trying and trying and trying to work there. But they do give you a higher census. I was Level III NICU nurse, and working in well baby is easy compared to that. I also did some pedi patients, but still foun...
  10. Promised job, now they won't hire me

    Thanks everyone for your replies! Yes, God has a plan for each of us. And Leslie, you are right! I probably would have been working. Next up, is going to my sister's grave! She was killed in a fatal car accident in September -- only 55. Mother o...
  11. Promised job, now they won't hire me

    Thanks for the myriad of replies. I am going to try and go back to working as an Administrative Assistant. But I did hear finally from a home health agency that said they won't be hiring until January. So perhaps after Christmas something will ope...
  12. Promised job, now they won't hire me

    I have been applying other places. However, there are openings there -- it is a very large hospital. They have openings all of the time. I never thought a degreed nurse would be looking at being homeless, as now they are telling me I don't have "re...

    I am being turned down! I am told I don't have recent experience. How did you all get your jobs? I will read all of your replies!
  14. Promised job, now they won't hire me

    I went for an interview with a hospital in the summer of 2009. I had left nursing only in 2005, but had not been in the hospital in quite some time as I was doing home health, hospice, but still nursing. I wanted to go back to the Nursery as I had b...
  15. They won't pay me my money!

    That happened to me as well when I was working for a home health agency. I had no idea what was going on as she was angry a lot, and demanding. I found out she was in financial trouble AFTER I resigned. I filed with the state through WorkForce Solu...
