Nurses Job Hunt

Published

How should I explain/disclose my reasons for leaving my Home Care cases, in the best light? All jobs before that were in facilities, and or through a Nursing Agency.

Ready to return to work after being out on disability from a car accident. I've been a nurse for 22yrs, The most recent 10yrs were spent working as an Independent Contractor Medicaid Provider - Private Duty Nurse.

Case 1 - Worked 8+yrs Pt started as Adolescent and became Adult

Left after becoming disabled from a MVA (motor vehicle accident).

Told client I had to resign for doctor putting me on disability because of MVA.

Case 2 - Worked 1yr Adolescent patient

Left d/t (due to) constant inappropriate sexual harassment from adolescent client.

He developed a crush on me and would try to initiate very inappropriate sexual conversations as well as make inappropriate sexual comment to me. When I brought this to his parent's attention, I was told that he had a harmless crush on me and to brush it off. I didn't feel physically threatened because he was paralyzed from the neck down.

Told client's parent I had to resign because I didn't feel comfortable working under those circumstances.

Case 3 - Worked 1-2 yrs Adult patient

Left d/t being put on bedrest for complicated high-risk pregnancy.

After pregnancy, unable to return d/t patient's husband taking her off the machines that were keeping her alive.

Case 4 - Worked 3 mo Pediatric patient (3-4mo old)

Father of the child a Director of an ER in the hospital. He would order me to give different meds/txs that were different from his son's Pediatrician orders in the MAR (medication administrative record). He was also very abusive and controlling of his wife, at times forbidding her from holding her own baby. Occasionally she would come to me in confidence crying about her situation.

Left for the above reasons, however, when I resigned, I told them it was because they wouldn't keep their dogs away from me and I was scared of dogs.
