Well, I finished my RN program and have been applying all over the place for a job. Amazingly no one seems to want to hire me. I've had attendence issues before at previous job and all were due to being sick, but that doesn't seem to matter to anyone. All anyone see's is how many jobs are on my resume, which I can't remove any of them. No one seems to want to give me a chance as a new RN. Apparently KY doesn't have much of a nursing shortage since I've applied at about 12 different hospitals all to no avail. I'm beginning to feel like I wasted my time completing my associate's degree since what happened when I was an LPN is being held against me in a big way. How can I convince anyone that I'm not an unreliable employee when they won't even give me a job. Oh and the job I did have, that was supposed to become full time after graduation....had no job for me. Nor could they keep me PRN as they said they had no hours available for me to work, so they gave me two choices. Resign, or stay on payroll and be resigned in 6 months of not working. Not much of a choice huh, especially since I used their tuition assistance.
Sorry this is such a long post, especially since no one knows me. But I've been looking for a job since Feb as I was planning on working 2 for awhile to get caught up on bills. Now instead of having what I thought was a guaranteed job at least is now gone and I'm stuck with another short time job on the resume.
