I am a nurse with 25 years of critical care experience in a level 1 trauma center in the DMV. I have worked in the trauma center, CCU, CVICU and ran an in house transport program until 2020 when I got Covid. I missed 5 weeks of work and struggled with some long haul symptoms and left my hospital after 25 years in 11/2020 to recover and take some time off which lasted 2 years too long. I was 1/2 through a BSN but went on a program hold because I wasn't sure where I would end up. I worked in another hospital that didn't require a BSN but left after 10 months due to some stress and staffing issues. That hospital apparently blacklisted me unfairly, I was a good nurse there and gave excellent care. I cant find a job now and as a 61 year old need some advice about what type of systems in Raleigh (hoping to relocate there) that do not need a BSN. Im interested in ASC preop/PACU and urgent care. Any advice would be so appreciated. I know I went about the last few years poorly but am hoping to rebuild my once stellar career as a RN. Covid really derailed me 😞 Thank you to anybody that could help me sort this out.
