[RNNOMORE]

Hi I'm new to this site, and need some insight.

I've been a RN for 15 years. When I job hunt, or talk with schools of nursing, it's like they shut the door in my face.

These employers & schools know nothing about me. They don't have my work, or academic information. They just are not interested, and will talk on the phone for a minute, if that.

I'm starting to think nursing skills are not needed.

Schools don't want nurses to have further training/education.

As a result I'm looking into a major life change. This will require returning to the university, and studying a total different field.

The strange thing about all of this is that I did not close the door on nursing, it closed the door on me. As a result I don't want to return any longer to the nursing profession.

What about the nursing shortage/much needed nursing skills?

Has anyone else felt this way?
