Try to get on at a private practice/medical office. Depending on the specialty, you could still get some procedure skills. The work life balance tends to be better. Hours are normally Mon-Fri days with weekend off! In an office setting, you'd learn the insurance side, what's covered, prior authorizations, how to get pts enrolled in assistance programs, etc that would give you experience for case management (if you wanted to go back to the hospitals).

That sounds like a messy situation . I would start sending out resumes and applying for other jobs. It's always easier to find a job when you already have one. Usually Less stressful to the money flow too. Apply to large companies that have multiple offices and/or locations to increase your odds.

Have you applied to other offices? Surgery centers, orthopedic offices, plastic surgery groups etc frequently hire RNs. If you're dead set on working in a hospital, search their websites for nurse recruiter contact info. Their main focus is attracting new RNs to the company!
