HELP!! LVN with stipulations needs help finding a job.....

Nurses Recovery

Published

I am an LVN with stipulations and I am having no luck in finding a job, I am not an addict nor am I an alcoholic, I was in a bad situation at that time in my life and had an ex bf that was an alcoholic and a user and well I am in this situation because of my stupidity and kind heartedness I have not seen or heard from him since then but the past is still haunting me due to me being on these stipulations because of him, I am not just blaming him I also know it is my fault for being so vulnerable and stupid...... I have moved on and now have a bf of 3 years who is also a nurse and is very loving and supporting.

I have been looking for a job now for several months in SA and the surrounding areas and have had no luck at all, it seems as soon as I disclose that I have stipulations they cut me off right there, no questions asked about the stipulations just interview over......I am currently receiving government assistance because I am unable to provide for my children due to this horrible situation I am in......:( Please if anyone knows of any employers who are willing to hire an LVN w/ stips let me know.

@ Sallyrnrrt I sent you a test email let me know if you received it! Thanks a bunch!

To be judged without knowing the situation is very hurtful.... :down: thank you for listening

If you are referring to my conjecture about your story, there was no judgement involved. Since your original post was so vague, I merely suggested what the truth might be, based on a common scenario, i.e. drug diversion for another person whom you are enabling.

Not referring to your statement.....just meaning " in general" but yea I should have explained the situation in more detail on my first post.

@anxious Sally idk why but I was just thinking about your situation while getting ready this morning. I was wondering if you were still in contact with your ex? If he cares for you in the least bit he would fess up and say that it was his. I have known people to do this and the accused was free to go. Just thought I might throw that out there.

Do you think that would help with the BON? I have not spoke to him, but when this happened he told me he would do what he can to help me...

I can't give you answers, but I'm thinking if you have criminal charges against you dropped then what does the BON have against you? Have you also thought about getting a hair test?

I'm new to this site as well hoping I can get support in finding a job in San Antonio area. Like I previously mentioned I've applied to ltc facilities and dialysis centers but no luck yet. I've been applying for two months had three interviews. I am a good nurse always have been never had issues with jobs before of course till now. According to my board order I can't work specialty areas or home health or temp agencies. And then I have the narcotics stips.the last interview I had the don made me feel like I had the job told me about the hiring process wat floor u would be working and even said he understood all about stipulations. He said if I didnt hear from then in 4 das to call him, he still needed to check if the company allowed nurses with stips. I called bak he said he wud get backbro me he hadnt checked and its been 3 weeks. Im wiling ro learn dialysis or doctors offices I just wanted get back to doing what I love to do. And move forward. I wana get into an RN program but I wana wait for this nightmare to be over.
