Health issues have prevented me from working as a Nurse and I was okay taking a pay cut as I work modified hours at my current job. I realize you don't need to be an RN. I guess I know that other Nurses also work in Activities although it is not a "Nursing" job. I live in Canada and several people at my current job have the same 8 month degree and while details are vague, HR accepts it.

Hello everyone! I have been working as an activities assistant in a Nursing Home for 8 years. I am an RN and got the position with those credentials. Recently there have been some opportunities to fill in temporarily as an activities lead. However, I have been told that I do not qualify. My supervisor (who runs Activities program) was hired with zero qualifications (seniority in another Department) and was allowed to complete an 8 month degree from home for her position. She has done everything in her power to block me from getting this job. It is becoming obvious that she has issues with me because I have my RN and she feels threatened. I have searched the forum and found that other nurses work in this field. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced any issues with not having a specific activities degree?
