return to nursing

I have been an RN sinced 1988. I worked critical care for most of that time, changing to LTC for the past 5 years in management. After a rough year with many things going on in my life, I became severly depressed and was unable to work for awhile. When I did go back to work it was as a cashier in a retail store because a "brainless" job was what I could handle at the time. I have since gotten on medication and am back to my old self. I am now having trouble finding a job in nursing. I have applied for multiple positions at the hospital where I worked for 22 years with no success. I have applied at another local hosptial with no success. I am not looking to go back into LTC as a floor nurse as I feel that, although those nurses work their butts off, it is mostly as a pill pusher. I understand my resume from the past year makes people run (I have had about 6 jobs!) I just wish one person would look at it and say "hmmm. I wonder what was going on with this person" and grant me an interview to explain. My "exciting" job as a cashier is not paying the bills. I'm used to making a day what I now make every two weeks! I am a good nurse. I can still read EKG's, I can still do CPR, I still know how to take care of patients. I am licensed in two states in good standing. I try to keep up with the latest evidence based practice articles. Nursing, other than a few new procedures that can be learned, is like falling off a bike. Any suggestions on how to get my foot in the door?
