I Got A Job!
I just had to post about this. After taking some time away from nursing, I had a really hard time finding a job. I have been registered for 2 years, but still have less than a year of experience (mostly in hospital).
I did not think it was possibly for me to work in the hospital again because of how stressful it was. It was part of the reason I left my first nursing job. So, I really started pushing toward applying to clinics, longterm care, and retirement homes. I started taking a primary care nursing course and sent out countless resumes. It has taken me 6 months to get here, but I got an offer a couple of weeks ago for a retirement residence and just received an offer for a primary care clinic!
I did get one other position a few months ago, but it was a really toxic environment, so I left shortly after.
I am so excited to work as a nurse again! I felt like with all the layoffs, I just wouldn't find anything.
