For those of us who are or were in non nursing jobs while under contract either by force or by choice, I am curious about how you handled it.
I am currently in a retail job, partly for both reasons. I am choosing to do so because I am tired of the contract/ program twits being the third wheel in an interview and, I feel preventing me from showing what an asset I can be to the facility. I feel like I am begging for a job. Additionally I have had issues with the program destroying great job offers I've had. (Not going in to that one) So I guess I am choosing but yet I also feel like my hand is being forced.
My thing is I am fixing to go to my retail job for a delightful (insert sarcasm) 9 hour shift. I find the idea of putting on a fake smile and acting like I give a **** for that long just nauseating. I know it's honest work and all, but I am not a good actor, never have been. I don't know if it's the low pay and the idea of my nursing degree gathering dust or the constant reminder of the godforsaken program that I don't belong in.
and if one more person tells me it's tempoary, I swear I'm a gonna cut someone (not really, but you know.....)
