Hey thanks for taking the time to respond. I am definitely applying to those SNFs. I just would never thought I would have had this much trouble. I wish I could get out of this area but for now I am stuck. I appreciate your response! Thanks!!!

Thanks Andrew1403 for some great advice. I will be doing just that! I greatly appreciate it.

Thank you all for your feedback and even constructive criticism I am going out tomorrow to hand deliver some resumes.

I am leaning towards acute care facilities but haven't R/O LTC. All if my clinical experiences were acute care facilities particularly a magnet status. What would you take in account in choosing a good quality LTC/SNF?

It doesn't it was a prison and a very harsh environment. I'm not on here to analyze why I didn't stay at a prison when most would not have even considered the job. I am looking for more of an acute care setting.

Thanks and yes I agree but what's done is done. I am learning the hard way but must carry on. I have thought about relocating but am not sure where. I am in the Chicagoland area now.

I am a male nurse that received my RN license last year. I had been searching and searching for a job and out of haste took a correctional center job. The environment was extremely punitive and not supportive of new grads. I was the only one with a BSN. Needless to say I voluntarily quit knowing I could find something better. Well, that was in the fall and I have yet to find anything. I am putting out applications everyday and making connections but nothing. I am wondering if switching careers was the right thing to do. I have a lot to offer an employer with a background in education and science (was a teacher). I am very motivated and want to get this nursing career kick started. Please any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!
