I Need a Change!

Hello all!

So I've been working at a SNF now for almost 6 months. I'm kind of part time and on call and I FLOAT which really sucks. I feel like I still can't get use to the med pass and getting done on time. Recently my mom who has been so supportive of me passed away, so I've been really stressed. My workplace has been so supportive and let me off for some time. I just went back to work this past Monday and again, the stress with the floating. I woke up this morning thinking, "I think I've reached my breaking point... I really need a change!" I know this economy is really bad right now, but I was just wondering if there are hospitals that do hire a nurse with SNF experience? I heard it's really hard to get into the acute setting after working at a SNF... but I really need a change! Or is there any other options that could work, like do clinics hire a nurse after working at a SNF? I'm super stressed and feeling like I can't handle things anymore... any advice???

Thanks.

    Thank you. I'm living in the bay area... specifically Fremont. I've been asking around through my contacts and checked online for jobs but they're all mostly staff II nurses needed or they want at least a year of ACUTE care experience. I would be willing to relocate, but it's not really a good time right now because I would have to leave my dad, and that would be hard cuz it's now just the two of us...
