hello,
i am a registered nurse with 16 yrs behind me,and another 12 in the medical feild,starting in 1979 as a CNA and working my way up the ladder to a RN.I have worked in a variety of feilds and have for the most part loved the journey.My ?,why won't managers give nurses a chance to grow,a change to spread their wings.We learn by doing.I have worked in several areas of management and loved it,especially the ADON and DON and found i had a good fit with it,the problem is i only had the job a short time,i was acting DON for almost a yr....i would like that job opportuntiy again,and i am presently searching.....but it is dishearting when you interveiw for a position,and you know you can do the job,but still,the one with the yrs of experiences gets the job,and their you are,faced with another disappointment.So i continue to look for my ideal job,while i study classes in management and professional development.Where do i go from here ??

hi,
thankyou for your thoughts,i guess i should be more realistic,and remember,thats why it is called a "job" LOL
