Hello. Hope you all are well. I wanted to stop in and give an update. If you remember I had found work as RN. Felt very fortunate that this happen very quickly after I was given ok to look after moving to new state and jumping through their hoops for about a year.

However, it did not take long for manager to make it VERY clear to me that she fully intended to use my situation to HER advantage because moreorless....who else was gonna hire me ....she intrepreted this as I can and shall treat you how I please! Now Im sure I know what some of you are saying because I said it to myself.....oh well the money is good the schedule is perfect and I haven't worked as a nurse for almost 3 years so I'll just be thankful , endure and do whatever I have to for just 3 years and then move on when the time comes.

But unfortunately after only 7 months my completely sober mind is screaming at me every time I step foot in the door at how wrong and how potentially unhealthy this situation can be. So I decided to atleast LOOK elsewhere.

I interviewed at family practice/urgent care that is so encouraging and welcoming they even freaking hugged me at the end of the interview and complimented me on my bravery AND.....get this...... are willing to
jump through whatever hoops to accomodate ME in order for me to work there(which will makes things a little hectic or atleast different for them). This is not a typical return site but because they are so willing to work with my 1 year restrictions and because my case manager is very decent (not the case in my original state) I think it is going to work out perfectly.

I wanted to come and share because my sins were BAD....very bad....however....I have fought my addiction for 3 years now and I am winning and I will NOT allow anyone especially some crazy bitch to take that from me. I spent many days alone and crying in utter despair without ANY signs of hope. Don't get me wrong......I still have a long way to go but damn if I haven't come a long way already! Don't give up!
