Hey Twilight- Well, honey it's not just nursing, it's all across the board....I've been looking for a job for 4 months non-nursing related and I have found nothing at all. I've been on maybe 20 interviews. I don't want to blame it on the economy and the sucky job market, but what can we say? Have you tried one of those nursing recruiting firms? Or applying in the outskirts of Houston? I have a B.A. degree with sales experience and I cannot find anything, which is why I'm pursuing my dream of nursing. I hope the best for you!

Ok, I am really new to allnurses.com, but I need some help....I just became a new mom in Feb. 08 and my baby is the best thing that's happened to me. Right now, I'm getting my Master's online in Counseling. I have a BA in Psychology from UT Knoxville....2 years ago, I was in the middle of taking pre-reqs for nursing school and I had my 2nd miscarriage, so I dropped out in the middle, thinking that it wasn't meant to be. When I gave birth to my daughter, the nurses were so genuine and great, one of the RN's actually asked me have I thought about becoming a nurse, because of my personality. I'm thinking about it again. I graduate with my Master's in 2009 and I've been thinking about doing the LVN program here in Houston. They have a few LVN/LPN programs in the area, and I'm thinking about trying to get in and do it. My husband is supportive, but thinks I wasted time with the master's. My goal is to try to break into Psych Nursing or Case Management. I've worked in Mental Health and I enjoyed it. I'm at a crossroad.....

hey I actually have an interview with them on tuesday as a care manager and I don't know what to expect...did you get the job there?
