Well i did it i'm a LVN now. Yeah about two years ago.Sense then i've had two jobs.The first one i was termenated from because I didn't listen to my heart and just leave on my own,but no I had to listen to othersplus i was preganet at the time and needed to find a job quickBut because i was with child no one would hire meLuckl i had a friend that was a DON and hired meI tell you it's not what you know but who you, ok?But anyway ihad my baby and was there for almost two years untill that nursing home was sold last yearThat wasn'tthe problem/the problem started when my friend left and then DSD left and so on and so forth.the new owners what to gutt the place and replace the nurse with new grades for cheaper pay.things weren't right with everthing all together.So i quit ,about to months ago,but if there is such a short in nursing why can't find a job? It seems like soon as they hear my name it's over with.Is it because i'm black or what? Please tell me i'm trippin and will be okay,that I will find a job ,because i am scared to death the i won't be able to care for m kids because of my pride. everone is saying i should let them fire me ,but i didn't want that against me.But it's too late now.

There is a saying that it is easier to get a job when you have a job. A person who has family responsibilities should not quit a job unless they have their next job lined up or unless there are dire circumstances. Whenever you see that things are going downhill and you foresee not being able to cope or not being able to survive, that is the time to start looking for a new job. Also a reason why so many people have a part time or per diem job in addition to their regular job. You might try going to agencies that do staffing or home health if you can't find a regular permanent job. Good luck.
