Peds nurse. Long term job search. Very frustrated!

Published

Hello everyone! Long time lurker who finally made an account. I have a unique situation so bear with me.

I have a job in peds home care. Vents, trachs, GTs, IVs etc. I love my patients, however I have been bored for a very long time. I have been working here for over 5 years! I have been applying to any hospital job remotely related to peds for years. I live in the northern Midwest where job competition is stiff. I got my BSN last year.

I have had interviews and they tell me there are 70 people being interviewed! I have been told I am in the top 2 a few times. I never get the job though!

I am so beyond frustrated and don't know what else to do.

Ideas? Recommendations? Jokes?

Thanks! I got the job!!! Now I'm so nervous about being able to learn the job. It's peds and adults. Seems like majority adults. That will be different for me! I'm so ready to learn though!

Congrats hope the job is a wonderful one for you

Specializes in Pediatrics, Emergency, Trauma.

What a pleasant turn of events! Congratulations!

Thank you! I'm so nervous! I'm really hoping I'm making the right choice!!!
