It took me 50 applications,9 interviews, and finally one understanding person to get a job. Sound bad? Not really. That was in a 30d time span. You just have to put out the effort. Be patient and hang in there. Think outside the box. Long term care, psychiatric, and correctional facilities usually have a greater shortage of nurses and are more willing to take a chance on us. A lot of places use nurses for medical records now, which involves no narcs, etc. You can do this!!! Remember to be honest, grateful, and humble, and you WILL get a job! Always here for you, Kris
