I am a male nurse that received my RN license last year. I had been searching and searching for a job and out of haste took a correctional center job. The environment was extremely punitive and not supportive of new grads. I was the only one with a BSN. Needless to say I voluntarily quit knowing I could find something better. Well, that was in the fall and I have yet to find anything. I am putting out applications everyday and making connections but nothing. I am wondering if switching careers was the right thing to do. I have a lot to offer an employer with a background in education and science (was a teacher). I am very motivated and want to get this nursing career kick started. Please any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!
