   jacquie44 replied to robigayle's topic in Recovery

   I know that feeling of not having my fit. I know there is no excuse for my behavior, but I believe that unhappiness definitely aided the problem. If you are not happy, my advice is to go back to whatever that thing was that made you really happy, a...

   jacquie44 replied to robigayle's topic in Recovery

   I'm sorry to hear about your dilemma. My experience has been this: that you cannot run from whatever the problem is. You may get away with working in TX for a while, but when they catch up with you, it's going to be worse. Please, if the problem i...

   jacquie44 replied to jacquie44's topic in General Nursing

   You are right...the refresher course did me no good with getting a job. I have applied to a couple of places for new grads. There's not many of those though. I will look into the doctor's office today. Keep the suggestions coming. This is exactly...

   jacquie44 replied to jacquie44's topic in General Nursing

   I'm not saying that there are no jobs...just no one will give me a chance. I know that I sat out for nine years, but I have to get a job before I can do anything. I have applied at all of the places you have mentioned, and I agree I probably need t...

   I'm in Nashville, but I can commute if necessary. I remember quite a lot, but I just need a good orientation. You know, just hang out with someone for a few weeks until it all comes back. I have applied for all types of positions, however no luck ...

    For anyone who has lived through addiction, it is not as easy as it would seem. Not to be making excuses (because in reality, there are none), my problem startes with insomnia. I would medicate to try to sleep. I was working nights in ICU, and was...

    First of all, let me say thank you to all of you, but especially RobiGayle. I too live in Tennessee and lost my license a few years ago due to my addiction to prescription meds. It has been a long hard road for me too, but I have been clean for abo...
