Why is it so hard to get & keep a full time job???

I have been an LVN in Texas for 3 years & most of my jobs have been PRN. I feel like I have to pull teeth to try to find a full time job! I tried LTC & when I did I worked part time or PRN, it was horrible & I will never go back. I worked in corrections & my boss was horrible I worked PRN but full time hours (see how that works). I've been doing PDN on & off for 3 years. It can be soo fickle. I'm also PRN with 2 companies.

I was doing really well with one particular company, working with 2 clients. But I got a phone call from the company, the foster mother did not want me to go back to the home/the child. She felt my nursing skills were "up to par". I had only been there twice & my orientation was for 2 hours. The kid is 2 years old, a drowning victim, is semi conscious, has a jtube, & requires a LOT of sx'ing. He can desat A LOT. I don't know what the foster mother was expecting but I did everything for that baby. So now I'm out of hours until they can fit me in with different cases. I hope I can find a full time job somewhere!
I think you need to keep looking. Try outpt facilities, dialysis, etc. I've not had an issue finding full time work. I have had an issue finding PRN or part time work for on my days off.

Lol! I wish I had that problem. :P I've applied to dialysis LVN positions, always rejected. Ditto goes for hospital positions. I've IV & ACLS certified. I've really getting depressed but hopefully I'll get into the bridge program when I apply because this is getting horrible & making me depressed. :/

Well you are prepared. It's hard in general to find jobs. Something will turn up. Make sure you have someone look at your r�sum� to see if it needs to be touched up. Good luck getting into your bridge program!

Thank you!
