That's interesting I still get offers . Most recently cardiac icu and cosmetic surgery. Most people seem to be more interested in the fact that i was a chemist than what I've done in nursing. I do want longevity somewhere for sure, but it hasnt affected anything thus far.

Because wity a bachelors in biochemistry I had to make a choice in order to go further in the science field ...my choice was to become a nurse so I could do research and clinical trials at the same time. That's the part of nursing I am most interested in

If you read my initial post my reason for going into nursing was to be able to do clinical trials for a pharmaceutical company .

I agree with you on so many levels I just wonder if nursing is not for me . Before nursing I had years of longevity in the chemistry field and still have many great references from that . Even in chemistry I was ok with things that weren't always perfect. I don't know maybe it just isn't for me

So I've been a nurse for over a year now and I am not liking it. Before becoming a nurse I was a chemist and I enjoyed it . my plan with nursing was to work for a pharmaceutical company as a nurse doing clinical trials. That has been super hard to get. So far I've had the following jobs : CTSDU- 3 months , I left because it was hard finding childcare for 12 hour shifts Ambulatory care - 9 months - I enjoyed it but I only was paid 21/hr not enough money and awful benefits dialysis- 1 month ... absolutely hated it . Start time 5 am and just didn't like it currently I am in skilled nursing / rehab for acute care geriatric patients. Hours and pay are ok but I don't like it . I'm the only RN so I'm responsible for staging wounds , admissions, and when/of state comes my documentation and patients are who they will look at. I'm just tired of it I would love to work from home and I have applied and so far nothing . So what should I do ? Does my resume of "job hopping" look awful? I haven't gone back to chemistry because most offers have been contract and I don't want that . I wish I would have done something like engineering or accounting where I can actually get paid and have job stability. I already have two bachelors so I know I won't go back to school (money, time, too many student loans). What should I do ? I no longer like my current job but I've only been here 4-5 months.
