Dissatisfaction again

Tossed the job, now borderig on depression trying to find another. Hate feeling like a bum just doing nothing all day (except surf the web looking at every job site!). Got 2 interviews lined up next week though one if for a new home that might not open until September and I really can't afford not to work until then.

Thanks Mermaid,

I'm not sure, but I think it's only one day of orientation. I'm hopeful that my break in time will be better than some due to the fact that I will be working basically PRN until mid September. One of the reasons I accepted the job at Manor Care is because they are allowing me to stay on at my current job until the doctor I work for moves her practice. Manor Care will use me on my doctors days off, and whenever I can fit it into my schedule. I felt strongly about trying not to leave the office before her so that they wouldn't have to hire another LPN for the short time before her departure. This will make the transition much smoother for co-workers and patients alike. All that being said, I'm hopeful that the time between now and mid September will be basically a training period for me (one can dream).

As far as LTC work goes, I have a feeling I will be good at it one day, and that it just might be my niche. Womens intuition?

I may be asking advice along my journey... stay tuned

Big veterans home there isn't there,any chance of a job for you there?

Think I burned my bridges with big veterans home as I worked for them for two days and quit cos it was too like a hospital and the c/a's didnt like nurses helping them.

"immobile bed bound beached whales" Omigod that visual image has me cracking up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know it sounds quite bad calling people beached whales but I need to get the point across. Anyhow overweight people are difficult to move as are tall people. I know if I ever need someone to move and handle me, they better be 6ft like me or they will have probs!
