A Chance

Published

I never really got much of a chance in nursing in Texas. I also have started a paralegal study and looking at online JD programs and even previously been accepted into a university in London England. I never underestimated education however I would like to see my associate degree in administration go as far as nursing does. I plan on also working at regular employment places also for a better mind set

I have also decided to reach out for information with hospice regulations . I am not going to argue with not being told I am not good enough or not enough experience

Keep applying... As someone told me on this forum a while back, "you are going to get a lot of 'Nos', but eventually you'll get a 'yes.' "

My 'yes' finally came from a very unlikely place. In NO way was I 'qualified' for this job. It could eventually come down to desperation, on their part. I honestly didn't care, took the job. I'm one of those people who is basically fundamentally happy, so I am enjoying the work. And I've been through enough on this journey so I speak up, usually immediately.

Am I in over my head? Maybe, who knows? But, I keep swimming. And I remind myself that my ultimate judge is mortality. My patients are happy and alive.

Do not give up! You CAN do this! Your chance will come! Keep checking in, we are here for you.

YES!!! That's a pretty awesome way to look at nursing. And life. Nobody died. It's all good.

Specializes in OR.

Right now I am trying to chip at the job that I *had* that was ruined for me by my lovely program. Not going into those details, but suffice it to say I was hired and had a start date and a signed lease, packed to move, etc. and ???. The facility placed me in a different position but it was not a good fit. I am now trying to convince the management to give me the chance I never got. I don’t know if I will be able to.

In the meantime, I am papering the area with apps and getting doors slammed in my face all over. If OR nurses are “so hard to find, etc...” why the blazes can’t I get a job? No restrictions, no nothing. Stupid ball and chain is gone in 202 days. I scrub, I circulate, 10+ years of experience, BSN, CNOR...

I guess, because I’m blunt, I expect that from others. I had one place straight up say, ‘come see us when the contract is gone.’ It wasn’t my first choice of employer but I can appreciate the straightforwardness.

Ive gotten BS’d from IPN for 5 years. I’m just tired of it. I want to try to be happy that it’s almost over but some days it’s really really hard!

I’m very sorry about a lot of this with me on here I suffered a traumatic psychological breakdown and accused people and family members of horrible things I know they did not do... they were the worst of the worst...I have to go to mental health visits and try to retablish a revoke that I know was my fault... I can still learn howevever I know this requires a very special person to do this.. I have to take things very slow and most places I know are looking for very smart people in this.... sorry for not telling more about me in the beginning being on here
