Thank you. I tried working as a Hospice nurse thru an agency but could never plan on having work. Is it different working for Hospice itself?

As a newer LPN with experience of less than 1 year and PRN at that, I applied and was hired to work in a OB/GYN office. I had Dr office experience but not in that specialty. I worked my 3 month probation with a trainer that had no patience for my questions and was already burnt out from training the last LPN that didnt stay. Instead of firing me for not picking up things as quickly as they thought I should, they moved me to train with another nurse. I felt I was picking it up faster and everything was going fine until she started nitpicking me about everything. From the way I used the computer to the way I prepped the room for another patient. I was there almost 1 year and never felt accepted. In fact, if anything, I felt like the office dumb ass. it destroyed my confidence in myself and in my abilities to the point that I became severely depressed and I no longer want to pursue nursing. I started the journey to my dream job of nursing at the age of 53 and feel that all the money and time I put into getting to that point is completely wasted. I am doing well now and would like to stay in the medical field. Any suggestions as to what I can do with an LPN certification and no med-surg experience? Thanks for any suggestions.
