After I lost my correctional position I was depressed for awhile and I didn't know what to do. My mom would tell me to apply for disability then she would tell me not to. I was confused & didn't know what direction I should go in. Then my husband left, moved in with his parents an hour away and wanted a divorce. But since I was jobless, I asked him if he wouldn't divorce me because after October I wouldn't have any insurance and even if I was able to get disability that doesn't mean I would be able to get insurance. So he agreed to just stay separated.
Then to add more crap on top of all of this, my mom has decided she didn't want to help me out in any way, shape or form any more. She was helping us financially & would help watch my kids occasionally but after my husband left I don't know what happened but now she thinks my mother in law has to pay for everything for my sons OR we do. Which is bizarre because we are losing even MORE money since my husband has to add me to his insurance this month. So I don't know where my mother thinks all this extra money is coming from. We were broke before when I had Medicaid, we're gonna be even more broke now than we have to pay for my insurance. So I don't know why my mom isn't helping any more.
Any way, after I lost my job I started looking and applying for a few jobs here & there (because of everything I stated above). Every time I would get rejected, no surprise there. I saw there were a bunch of openings for LVNs at the hospital system in my area so I applied to all of them & didn't think much of it after that. Then on Tuesday I got a phone call to set up an interview. I was shocked! I didn't think I'd ever get an interview for a hospital position! So I immediately accepted and set up a time. Then after the shock wore off later off that day I realized, oh no! What if it's for a night shift position? I can't work night shift. So the next day I called to make sure it wasn't so I didn't waste the nurse manager's time. It wasn't so I went ahead with the interview. I had my interview today and it went so well that I go the call from HR on my way home that I got the job!!! I couldn't be more excited!!!
I want to thank everyone on here because I truly think you all have shaped me into the great nurse I am today. I love this website and the people on it. I want to keep learning from everyone on here & hope to teach people.
