I am interviewing with Fresenius and was told I would have 12 weeks of training. Is this not true?

The only place I could get a job was a SNF. I’ve been there for almost 2 years. I just kept applying and finally got an offer at a hospital. I hope you find a nursing job soon.

Thank you! I’m taking the job. I’m kind of scared about how long it’s been since I’ve worked in a hospital, but I’ve been waiting for an opportunity like this and so grateful I’ve been offered this job.

My nursing license was revoked back in 2005 for major substance abuse issues. I have felony convictions and left every hospital in this area under bad terms. After 13 years of getting my life together I got my nursing license back in 2018. I took an online refresher course and have been working in a SNF for almost 2 years. After a 13 year absence from nursing it was pretty intimidating at first, but I’ve gotten over it and feel pretty confident in my job now. I just got offered a position at a hospital I worked at before (one I left on bad terms before) on a PCU, mainly CHF patients. The manager who hired me says they’ll give me a good orientation but I’m still really nervous about it. There are also a lot of people that still work there that know why I left all those years ago and it might be difficult to work with some of them. Have any of y’all went back to nursing after a long absence? How did it go? What about working with colleagues who know about your past?
