fired after 25yrs of service, where to go from here

Published

Hello

I have worked for the same company for almost 25yrs. Was fired because I did not supply documentation of my divorce in a timely manner. Did 3.5 yrs of home health and hated the paperwork. Most of nursing career (ob/gyn) in clinic and last year in tele advise. Wanting to work in Hosp doing ed nursing but no experience. Tried to call UCLA and USC. USC will only train if working for them and no call back from UCLA. Cant get hired anywhere on floor without hosp exp. I am experinced nurse why wont anyone hire and put me w/precptor.

Is anyone out there having same prob.

Looking to do refresher course but cant find one in CA until Jan. Cant pay bills with no job.

Extremely frustrated.

Wasn't aware I was interviewing. I would never disclose this story to a prospective employer - intention just to share. Of course there is more to the story; there always is. More and more Boomers are going to fine themselves here.

sorry, this format requires such brief responses that intent is often mistaken. I just meant that if you look at it from the other person's viewpoint you can better determine your plan of action.
