Stipulations and no job

[tracy.bell5]

I have been out of work for 2 months and if I don't have a job by the 1st then I have no place to live. I do have a reprimand with stips on my license and NO ONE is willing to take a chance on me. My stips arent that bad but every nursing home I have applied at says I would be the only RN on duty and my stips say I have to have another RN with me. I am at my wits end and even applied for jobs that aren't nursing but then I'm told that I am over qualified. I don't know what to do next. Prayer (I hate to say this) has gotten me no where. I dont wanna be homeless !!!!!!!! Any suggestions would be of great value to me at this time.

I agree with nowim clean. I am in this mess because I created it.... me and only me. that's why I get so depressed which is anger turned inward. sometimes I get so mad at myself for letting this happen! that voice in my head keeps repeating "HOW COULD YOU BE SO F'ING STUPID?????" but, the past is the past, we learn from it and move on..... sometimes the "moving on" part takes a long time and the scars are visible and still haunt us. but, it's part of the recovery process. you just have to own it and be strong. we are only human, we make mistakes......

I started to downsize the minute I lost my license (sold kids old toys, satellite cut off, traded in vehicle, refinanced loans, cut home phone off ..etc) I took a job at a gas station for 2 years making minimum wage before I found something...but I did what I had to do to get by. Good luck in your search but go with what will get you to work NOW.
