I worked in a coastal CA city and in AZ. I have had many celebrities, NFL players, coaches, musicians, etc... that I have taken care of. They were always nice and polite. It was our upper management that was worried once they figured out their status...

Get my BSN because it will be required to work at the hospital when I get older.

I was a military spouse when I graduated. I went and graduated school in Michigan. I tested and got my first license in California. It took awhile for them to verify that my nursing program was approved by the CA BON, but once that was completed, I h...

I was hospitalized for suicidal attempt a few years ago. I had to tell my employer because I broke down at work in HR and told them what I was feeling and what happened. I ended up attempting the next day and ended up in the hospital the following da...

I did not have a TBI, but I have chemo induced severe cognitive impairment. It's been 2 years now and I am better, but it has led to psychosis and now the chances of returning to work as a nurse are now next to zero. I fail every neuropsych test give...

I became ill once I became a nurse and survived at the bedside for 18 years before having to take on other work. I did telephonic nursing for 5 years and at 2 different places but they did require 3-5 years and critical care experience. One year is n...

I actually went to ER/Trauma and was so busy that I did not think about my mental health problems at work. It worked so well for me until they required a bachelor's degree and I could not afford one (they did not pay for it) so I had to leave and wor...

I have had to fill these papers out more than a dozen times for mental health issues to cancer treatment and every thing else between. It is suppose to stay between you and HR. But, in all honesty, my managers have found out what I was on leave for. ...

I have never reported it because they are usually referring to active illness. I have a chronic condition just like if I was to go to the doctor for my high cholesterol. I did go to therapy at the time too and see a psychiatrist monthly.

I worked nurse triage in a clinic and I worked M-F 8-5 but I had to work 1 holiday a year from home. It was not bad and you hardly get any calls and can still interact with your family since the headset was wireless.

I debating for a while and decided it was not worth the money for me. We are already paying my husband's student loan debt off and will be for a long time. There will be no pay increase for me. It would get me back in the hospital, but right now I am...

I was fired once because I resembled her (the patient's) granddaughter and that upset her. Her family said they did not get along. If the pt. saw me near the door, she screamed. She did this the three times the patient came in. Crazy! Of course, the...

I worked on a med/surg/tele floor as a RN in a hospital that saw rare kids and mostly very elderly adults in Southern CA. Deaths were a daily occurrence, sometimes 2-3 patients a shift. I only stayed there 2 months and my husband's military duty stat...

I was forced away from the "acute-care hospital". All hospitals in my area require a BSN because all 10+ of them are magnet. When I moved to this area, I was unaware of that and could not get a job in a hospital without a BSN. I ended up having to s...

I had this problem all the time. I graduated with my diploma of nursing (RN) right after turning 20. I looked like 12 to most people. I often had patients ask me what high school I went to, when I would graduate nursing school, and other like questio...

I did med/surg for 2.5 years then went to ER/Trauma for 15 years. I went to Telephone triage at home then the Internal Medicine Clinics for a total of 5 years. Now I am on disability for life because of multiple medical problems.

I don't know the answer but wanted to wish you the best of luck. I am currently (probably forever) on disability so I am not working.

I've always had success getting hired from indeed.

I have been a RN for 22 years. The last 5 have been in the clinics because I could no longer do bedside nursing. I was an ER nurse prior to that. I have been off work and medically disabled for the past 2 years. I had a ton of medical problems prior ...

I wanted that ability to return to work if I could or if something happened to my husband, but I will not have enough hours to renew my license during this period. I am not sure what I'll due.

Giving up on life has been a hard one but I know my children need me. My husband took me out for errands today and my girls wanted me to take them Homecoming dress shopping. My husband drove. (I lost my license a year ago). I promised my twins and so...

Do you have a BSN? My local hospitals only hire BSN nurses so when I went looking for a job when I moved to this new state, I had to work as a Telephone Triage nurse. They also now look at credit reports too *hospitals". Mine is not the greatest but ...

My husband stayed home and watched our 3 children after finishing up with the US Marines. Then he went to college. I am disabled now and he's been working 8 years now. He makes a good salary and with my SSDI we still struggle, but we live well.

When I worked at our huge Trauma Center in the ER as an RN, Our Burn unit got the least admissions, but the patients stayed for months. Our chest pain unit could get 2 patients to 8 patients max and it was pretty straight forward orders since I got p...

Thank you everyone. It means a lot to me that you mentioned the kind words and suggestions. I had major surgery as a result of the cancer I had almost 2 years ago today and I explained to the staff that I was a nurse but I am now disabled and it was ...
