I have 2 kids and i need to start earning for them.. Need help...

Specializes in Complex pedi to LTC/SA & now a manager.

Stop restricting yourself to acute care hospitals. Start looking at LTC, LTAC, rehab, subacute rehab, psych, outpatient surgical centers, psych, detox, etc.

Specializes in 15 years in ICU, 22 years in PACU.

I don't think any employer will hire you because you have 2 kids. In fact that might be seen as a liability because you will be more responsive to them than an employer needing a flexible worker. Not something to prominently display on your resume.

You are in a tough market for new grads, all with no experience and competing for the same entry level jobs.
