Recovering RN returning to work

[RN4Life]

I have been recovering from an opiate addiction and am involved with Health Professional Recovery Program. I am trying to return to work but have a restriction that I cannot work anywhere there are narcotics. My current job states they have no position available for me so have put me on a personal leave. I am looking elsewhere for a different job but I am very limited. Currently looking for a hemodialysis, case management, phone triage job but want to know if people have any suggestions on which way to go. I've also thought about working as a nurse's aid but I'm not certified and don't know how to do that. I desperately need some income-may need to go outside of nursing if I can't find a suitable job approved by HPRP. I've been a nurse for 19 years, have eight years dialysis experience, rest is med/surg. Please help me if you can. Thanks!

Thank you tazzirn...you have called it right and it is a great reminder for folks like myself who have felt persecuted by our profession..and then got back to that good old.."attitude of gratitude".."one day at a time".."let go and let God"..thank you for braving your words of wisdom for us all.
