Need off the floor

I have been a floor nurse for 2.5 years. I've hated it all along. I never wanted to be a floor nurse, and will always hate it. My most recent position was described to me as intermediate care and a 4:1 ratio. It's a 5:1 ratio, and no one thinks of it as anything more than a floor. I've applied to multiple ICU positions, the OR, and now the cath lab. I can't seem to get hired because floor nursing is worse than no experience at all. I work with transplant and LVAD patients, so that should count for something. I can't do it anymore. I can't take five patients. I am sick of constantly treated like an idiot all the time. I used to think of myself as smart, and I had goals. Now I just want to quit and become a stripper. I work in the Texas Medical Center...surely there would be a job somewhere, but there is nothing. I keep getting shot down. What's a girl to do?

    In the OR? I did my externship there, but was way too shy at the time. I loved it, though, and was very disappointed that I didn't speak up. I've since learned from my mistakes. Hiring RNs without OR experience?
