Oh right! Okay, you are talking about Kindred Hospital. I understand, thank you!

I volunteer a few days a week for a free medical clinic and have for almost two years now. I enjoy it and it makes me very grateful for all that I have in life since a great deal of my patients have really horrible histories. I would go back to a LTACH or SNF if in anyway that would be considered experience to get me a hospital position. Thank you for your advice. Hope you have a great day.

Hi, I guess my question is what do you do when you are an RN but you cannot get a job? My problem is that I am not a new grad so I do not qualify for new grad programs but yet my limited experience is not enough to be considered an experienced RN. I have had some setbacks in my nursing career. I will be done with my BSN in May 2020. I have been an RN for almost three years now. I volunteer my time every week at a free medical clinic taking care of vulnerable populations. I did a ICU residency right out of school and I loved it. Unfortunately, I was let go from the position during my probation period. I also worked in nursing/rehab facility for 9 months before I decided that was not the type of nursing I wanted. Hospitals do not look at that as experience they want in hospital experience. My passion and desire is to be in the hospital caring for patients and their families. It took me a long time to get my license due to moving all the time following my husband around the world with the USAF. I bet I have put in close to 600 applications for the last two years and no one wants me. I have a feeling that there are some untrue things being said about me from a certain hospital but I can't prove it and plus I just want a chance to prove myself as a nurse. I have all this desire and love to give to patients and just need to be needed. How do I proceed? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you, Jennifer
