I imagine that at Home Health Hospice you would be working alone? Probation for medication errors should include some supervision which could not be provided in a home nursing setting. You may be better off to secure your future if you can find a job that would support your special needs at this time. Good Luck!

That she would even consider a job in Cardiac ICU as a new grad, and one who had just lost her job, does not show much insight.

As a retired nurse I have seen a lot. The quality of preceptor is very important and judgements based on perceived attituded can be very destructive. However, I would not recommend a crital care area for a new grad in any circumstance. Learn the basics abd become a good bedside nurse before specializing. Do you think the bedside is beneath you and /or you have nothing more to learn? I can see a preceptor being critical of a new grad who is looking for greener pastures early in employment. Take your dismissal as an opportunity to learn.

I think you would be limited in what you can do physically which may make it difficult to get through nursing school. There are nursing jobs where with limited physical demands but they are not plentiful. As far as your mental health challenges you need to know if you are able to study and meet deadlines for one thing. Take a credit course at university and see how it goes before applying to a full time program. I think your chronic use of narcotics could possibly be an issue but not necessarily. However, if you were ever to make a mistake it would be likely the narcotics would be blamed, whether their use impairs you or not.
