Career change

I am an RN working in LTC. I have been trying to get a position in a Hospital or at least in a Vent Unit but no success. I have been thinking maybe if I go back to school to get a degree in RT or Radiology help me to advance in my career. Another option is get a Hygienist degree. Any opinions please?

    It seems to me that you are encountering some roadblocks to your career at present. how long have you been in LTC?

    Maybe should stick being an RN and keep trying at several hospitals and clinics. Be patient and the same time look for opportunities to expand your nursing skills such as ACLS certification, PALS certification, even some EMT training etc..or Critical care credentials. The opportunities to learn and expand your nursing experience are out there.

    Keep going and focus on your goal(s). Good Luck! Bon Chance!

    I have been working in LTC for about 8 years. I have been working in this very nice facility for some months now but the staff is horrible. I know I am not the problem.I am a good nurse I love my residents and they like me along with their families members. I finish my job on time and with quality. I was told that the staff get rid of the nurse who take the position that I currently work. I am so desperate, I feel like against the wall. I am going to look for advance opportunities tomorrow. Thanks
