I would think very hard before changing jobs- -and I certainly would not quit till I had another job lined up. Also many job offers fall through once they find out your in monitoring program or once HR gets involved.

I know you are bummed to be out of your desired speciality- but I see many many nurses on here that can't get hired into any nursing job. They are forced to work menial jobs for fraction of the paycheck. I think some perspective here may change your mindset.

This was very good advice. I did need some perspective. Thank you.

Hey Ash,

Have you ever thought about moving to a smaller city like Lubbock? They might be more understanding and willing to hire?

No worries, I often need to remind myself how great I have it compared to others :)
