So devastated!! They gave me a job and them they asked me to leave cuz they made a mistake! I even confirmed with them that it was ok to quit the call center job I had just started and they said yes it was ok I would start working today. I quit my other job on short notice and went to start orientation today at 5:30 the HR Manager comes searching for me to tell me I cant work after all cause of my restrictions.....it was such a nice place and was not at all chaotic there. But why does this keep happening. How could they make such a mistake..I repeatedly asked about my restrictions and then turn around and say that due to.the restrictions I cant work! Now I dont have a job at all:(

Oh goodness CryssieD thank u I really needed to hear that right about now. I will try to stay focused on right now. God Bless!! All of you.

Thank you ladies and I completely understand. It definitely is a start. I just wana get my foot in the door. But....I keep thinking negatively and everything that can go wrong...perhaps due to what happened to me previously...I dont want to think that way..I try to stop the thoughts as soon as they start.....and pray.

I have wonderful news!!one of the places that previously turned me down due to my restrictions calld me back!!! I went today and I start wednesday!!!I am beyond excited and greatful to my God who doesnt leave me as negative as I get and as much as I have wanted to give up I didnt.He Guided me..and all your wonderful words to all who have responded to me A BIG THANK U AND MANY HUGGS!!! I learned from the last place I was at. And something thatvwas previously said that its wat we do and learn along the way that counts.

Thanks yes that helps alot.CryssieD I am so happy that I have everyone here who understands. Thanks to everyone for your input. I will keep trudging forward. Sometimes I do tend to throw myself a pitty party...and then start to wonder. By the way I finally found another job where I actually had to explain why I wasnt working as a nurse cuz they pulled up something that had an alert under my name. They still hired me its a call center for a fone company but I still had to explain why I wasnt practicing nursing, It was somewhat difficult to do so.

Thanks for that cryssie, so can u give me an idea where I look for corrections jobs...is that like at prisons or jails. Ive seen openings but for like hospitals that say corrections then it says must have unrestricted license.

I have tried with dialysis quite a bit. One manager offered to train me but as soon as I told him I had restrictions he refused to talk to me. I am an LVN and many of the dialysis centers say RNs only. It would be awesome I even offered to volunteer time until I became familiar with dialysis and offered to train as a pct but they still refuse. I just dont know.

Thanks Sallyrnrrt.....I keep wanting to give up but something just keeps pushing me forward, a little voice inside says "don't give up"

So a quick question to everyone and anyone that has stipulations, just went through a brainstorm......Anyone ever stepped down to working as a CNA? Is it allowed? I wonder? I emailed my investigator to see what she says but who knows.Is it something anybody would do? Im getting a little desperate here. Or a nurse tech at a hospital with the stipulations i wonder if they would even hire me. Just an idea. Any feedback welcomed.

I am going to have to give up my current search for a nursing job and continue looking for a non nursing job again. I have been working non nursing jobs since 2003. After all that hard work I went thru to get that license back....all it took was two months for that nursing home to knock me right back down. The thing i feared the most. I would actually stand in front of the door and say a quick prayer before i would walk in everyday. Back to a non nursing job I can't sit and wait. Ill be on the street.

Thanks Catmom.. thats basically what I did. Not only do the narcotic restrictions stop me, so does the no on call, no homehealth,no hospice, no prn, no agency, no specialty areas, no triage, no overtime, no rotating shifts and no night shifts. But thanks again for response, i really feel alone at times.

Hi well thank you everyone that has responded to my post, I haven't logged on in a while. I have been to so many interviews I have lost count. I hadn't worked in 9 1/2 years I found a job in mar of 2014 and was terminated on may 21,2014 for something that should have never occured. The DON didn't even give me a chance to rectify the situation she just termed me and reported me to the board and now I am under investigation and have been since the day she reported me in May. I already have restrictions and should have never taken that position in that place.....i didn't go with the little voice that tells you "don't do it."- so anxious to return to work as a nurse I took the position anyway. So now on top of the long list of restrictions, I have to explain terminated and restrictions...and just the unknown of what is going to happen to me when they are done with their investigation!!! I can't even afford an attorney. I dont even have a job right now. As soon as I get up in the morning I am putting out applications...going to facilities. But every interview is the same as the one before. They explain everything about their company and how great it is and so glad to have me there, but as soon as I bring up the restrictions its all over. If this has happend to anyone let me know..I just couldn't believe I already had restrictions and now under investigation again.

Thank you for your encouragement. I have been to so many interviews I have lost count. I even ended up going to one place twice under two different DONs. I have applied to so many places but those narc restrictions just throw me off and actually I have applied for multiple treatment nurse positions and they require to be on call and thats another restriction. I have applied to dialysis, psych hospitals. The state hospital offered me a position but as soon as I told them of my restrictions they didn't even want to look at me. And even worse now I have to explain a termination for a documentation error. uggh

Thank you I will cont to have faith. ...

Well I am so overwhelmed still waiting on that one person to say "ill give you a chance" hoping and praying everyday for that one job thats for me...so difficult with these stipulations...the other day my son says what are you waiting for so you can get a job as a nurse again...when will your probation be over? I said I have to find a job first so it can come off....he says well tht doesnt make sense if u cant find a job because of the restrictions how can you find a job to get them off? You are a nurse not a call center person!!! I wanted to cry so bad but held back and just told him I will not lose faith...its just so difficult because I remember how easy it used to be to get a job and now it seems almost impossible.
