I'm jobless. And really not through want of trying, but simply because there are NO Paediatric Nursing jobs in my area, and those which are so far afield which it'd require me to move away...I've applied for but not heard from.
I'm a little bit bored crazy here. I can't stand not having anything to do. There are only so many books I can read and so many DVD boxsets I can watch continuously. Ok, so if I'm honest, I'm quite enjoying the whole Grey's Anatomy/Private Practice DVD's on repeat but I'd so much rather be working or at least feel less guilty if I had a job offer and was simply waiting for HR and CRB clearance. I WANT A JOB!
I'm so fed up. I wouldn't say I was depressed as such, not by a long shot, but today I stayed in my jarmies all day and watched 'Come Dine With Me' episodes back to back...as I do a little too ofen these days. Anyway, then I thought 'hmmm I'll totally cook up a storm for everyone' (in my jarmies, of course) but only managed to make my salad soggy with too much dressing and parmeasan, gag with disgust on my baked figs with goats cheese, then burn the 'main' course. So, that didn't go to well.
Better luck tomorrow? What would make my day would be a single suitable (as in I have the qualifications!) paediatric nurse job that wasn't bank, in case I needed to move away - would need a permanent job offer to upsticks and leave - in which I could apply, hopefully get an interview, and then be offered it.
My family are trying to get me to 'sign on' but, and ok this isn't meant to come across as snobby...BUT I couldn't bear going on the dole, I'd be too afraid that I'd never get a job. As it is I'm living on my overdraft and it's not looking good BUT there is such a stigma for dole, you know? It's just a horrible place to be right now, I want to work, I'm qualified, I can't wait to get stuck in...BUT I just can't.
Whilst I'm not 'depressed' it is 'depressing'
Better news next blog post I hope, will still keep smiling...see... :oD

if u got on the bank it may get your foot in the door tho and get to know of any jobs that come up internally, I know it wouldnt be full/part time work but it could be a step in the right direction and u cud end up doing a good amount of hours p/w anyways? Could u not contact ex placements n see if they have anything for you or any advice? You never know.... I may just be talking rubbish and probably not that straight forward but hope u get sorted, its such a shame that they train all these nurses and then they can't get a job at the end of it. Have any of your uni mates got anywhere?xx
ReplyDeleteHey! Tried the bank, according to them they don't take NQ's who haven't completed preceptorship :o( Am hoping to join as a HCA though, even to gain more experience and of course see the internal jobs! Thanks for the thoughts though my darlin, hope all is well with you xxx
