I like you have had one misjudgement of my normal character, it got me a misdemeanor of theft, this was 10 yrs ago, since that time I have graduated from LPH school and have had a fairly easy time obtaining employment, its keeping it that I m finding difficult. I live in a rather small tricounty area and as you know nurses dont stay long in a position esp in LTC, so I am continually running into people who either are familiar with my past or know someone that is, even though my past is my past I have left it there unfortunately others haven't, so of course you have the nurses who would rather stir up trouble for you than to work by the oath they have taken to do no harm and to care.. It breaks my heart that I am currently seeking other career avenues because of the mental anguish this causes on me because I truley love what I do and I know in my heart I will never repeat my past but thats no fun for coworkers it make much more enjoyable story to plot ways to set me up..... Im sad and lost and unsure of where my future lies.
