My nursing career

I graduated from an ADN-RN nursing program in 8/2012. My first job was 3/13 in a birth center working nights which I was let go from a few days before my 90 days was up. 3 weeks later I was employed on a medical surgical floor working days for much less pay and decided myself to leave around 90 days for a home health job that was M-F 8-430 with $3 more pay. The Home health job proved to be anything but what the interview described, long hours lasting some nights 6-7 pm, overloaded patient schedule, a company that could not care anything for it's employees and all while I was pregnant with my third child. I left my hh job on maternity leave and came back on 5/5/14 only to quit the second day abruptly because I was overwhelmed with 9 patients and a disaster driving distance. Now I'm on the hunt again and I'm so disgusted!! I had two interviews this week with no news yet! I assume after 4 days I can assume the worse...any advice?? I hate to job hop and I want so badly to get a job I love and enjoy but the jobs in my area are not abundant. I could get a license in my neighbor state of FL BUT ITS ABOUT $500 And I don't have that..
1. The nursing world is small. People talk and your reputation follows you.2. There is no such thing as the perfect job.I mean this in the nicest way possible, and for background you need to realize that it costs thousands of dollars to hire, orient, and train a new hire. I would be surprised if your work history doesn't scare any potential employer off the second they look at your resume. I would suggest that if by some miracle you find someone to hire you, you make the absolute best of it and thank your lucky stars. Even if it is the worst job in the world and you hate it when you wake up every day, for the good of your career you better stay put for AT LEAST one to two years (unless it is unsafe or placing your license at risk). You said it yourself, jobs in your area aren't abundant... you already let at least two good jobs go. You might just have to lay in that bed you made yourself.
Thanks, those are words of encouragement but I get what you're saying!! I took advice from other friends and left off my birth center job on my resume. Many many of my fellow friends have had 4-5 jobs and keep getting offers.
Share your disdain with Home Health. Can we ask what led to your dismissal from the birthing center? Could help figuring out the problem.If you can make money in Florida with a $500 dollar investment , it would be well worth it.Could you travel nurse in Florida ? They will pay your license fee.
I have three babies under six so no traveling for me! The lady at the birth center said I was not cut out for labor nursing because I was too nervous. She was very nice and paid me for two weeks while I was job searching. This HH company has a bad rep in my area and I should have known better than to take the job. Any job that hires ALL nurses on the interview spells disaster. The turnover is HIGH!! I know of 4 in a month who have left. They lie and try to give you more assignments than is possible in a days work and there's a lot of other shady things...
