Even the tone of your response is off-putting. There are people with
one of your three degrees that have wonderful jobs making six figures.
You need to re-examine yourself and decide what you want. There is
something about you that doesn't "smell" right. At least try to hide
it in interviews. I'm not trying to be unkind. I'm awkward myself.
Once you're hired, it doesn't matter as much. You have a BSN. Imagine
how a person with a BSN should feel and act. And do that in
interviews, even if it isn't you. You'll get in there and get the
experience you need and move on to something that fits you. But please
don't write this off as some sort of nursing career problem. The
nurses who are having problems HAVE problems that employers don't
want. Your tone here tells me you won't make the effort. You're not
hurting anyone but yourself. By the way, my mailbox is still not
overflowing with the resumes of nurses who are desperate for jobs. I
get up to $10,000 as a referral bonus for finding one of you.
Yeah...tough job market.
