Hello readers and fellow nurses, both male and female. I hope everything is wonderful with you. I wish everything were wonderful with me. I am writing this... just to vent, I think. Each day I am becoming more and more despondent. After being an ADN since 1984, I went back to school in 2010 at Washington State University, graduated this May with my BSN, summa cum laude, 4.0, and induction in Sigma Theta Tau International...but no matter where I apply, or how many interviews I take, I am not accepted anywhere. I have been without work for almost 3 years. I seriously wonder what is wrong with me... and maybe I just need a shoulder to lean on. I am so frustrated, I am thinking that I must be untouchable or unemployable for some reason... as if each nurse manager in the country has a big picture of me on their wall with a message "do not hire under any circumstances"! More and more, I am wondering why I went through all the work to become a nurse when I want SO much to work but am not given the opportunity. I know that I have always been a good nurse, and with my 4-year education, I am an even better nurse. Sometimes I just need to reach out and tell my fellow nurses and wonder whether I am all alone out here. Thanks for listening. George
