I was a Medical Assistant for 13 years, got my BSN, RN in December 2012. Live in Philadelphia suburbs and CANNOT GET INTO A HOSPITAL TO SAVE MY LIFE!!! I'm at such a loss. I'm miserable at my current job (Nursing home on SNF/Rehab floor) because I'm wasting my time, my skills and my sanity feeling like I'll never live up to my potential and become what I've always dreamt of doing. Can't think of any reasons why, as I'm seeing almost every single one of my peers - education, age, gender, (some with less experience!) etc - getting hospital jobs. My resume is great. I am complimented and respected at my current job on my skills and knowledge. Im a hard worker and passionate about nursing. What gives? I don't even get calls for interviews and then I see another new(er) nurse getting hired somewhere else. I sound pathetic, I'm sure but I'm really questioning what is going on! Some of my old nursing school buddies are moving on to MSN programs and I dont even have any acute care experience yet. This is ridiculous. Help!!
