Been working ICU, cardiothoracic and addictions, community liaison, case management, home and community care but opened my own business for 3 years (stopped nursing) and nothing but crickets for jobs out there. This has never happened! I've got an app with gov't but maybe 2 months to complete their security checks (I won out of 50 others but not fast enough). Not enough recent exp for agency now i'm panicking!
Never been in this situation in my life! I'm willing to drive 2 hours to work (I'm in the Baltimore area). I've always been asked to work for places...never had to look...been "stolen" from job to job for 2 decades since I was 23.
Everyone wants 2 years recent experience (recent recent) or masters degree (I'm not done with my Bachelors to Masters yet...need a job to restart and finish)

34 years experience, work in multiple specialties
took me 14 months to find a job
this was well worth the wait, EXCELLANT benefits, salary, working conditions, and schedule
what MORE could I ask for? YES, it is a 30-45 min commute depending on the day and time, but all else considered I am very HAPPY
