Frustrated

I'm a little frustrated. Like many of the others I couldn't find a job after getting my RN license. I finally found a job in a SNF. I worked there for 6 months then decided to go back to school and get my BSN. I really wanted a job in a hospital but everyone wanted you to have at least a years experience. I got a job working at an ALF. In the meantime still looking for a higher paying job. I worked there for two years. Thinking this would be concidered experience. But no, I was told thats "not nursing" either. I worked through an agency at a PACE program for a while. Then got hired as an RN/Case manager for hospice. And I love this job. However I want to try something new. I've been getting calls from jobs but when they interview me I'm told i dont have any experience in an acute care setting. I'm stuck in Hospice. I feel like I chose the wrong career. Very frustrated.

    Didn't you used to say that you'd only worked in LTC before and never a hospital? I apologize if I'm confusing you with someone else...
    I started out in LTC, then worked at a specialty hospital for five years (2010 to 2015). Here's the caveat...I've never worked at a general acute care hospital.

    I've never heard of a non-acute care hospital. I was just curious.
