OK so I posted this info in a nursing forum but I am probably just going to get a bunch of people telling me not to give up. I know the forum and although they think they are helpful they do not answer the question so I am posting it here in hopes for assistance. Sorry it is super late so I am just going to post the same thing. It still applies. And yes I do have AD/HD. You can tell by how I type and my myriad of degrees and certificates. I also have a Bachelors in French and a post graduate certificate in Teaching English as a Foreign Language in addition to the other stuff I mentioned below and to this date I have used NONE of the things I have trained in. Ugh, anyway getting off topic AGAIN so here is my post:
OK please don't give any studying advice. I took the NCLEX twice. I failed twice at 75 Q. I did all of Kaplan, every inch of and started repeating the Q Bank. I did Hurst. Started with it online and then did the live version but I don't like how they dumb everything down. After watching all the videos 5 times I was done. I did ATI questions. I did a 2 month prep course for people that have been out of school for a while. We had 5 hours of homework every night for 2 months. And I used a bunch of different resources.
I graduated with a 3.87 GPA in my BSN. But I am DONE with NCLEX for a while. I don't want to talk about NCLEX.
I went to nursing school so that I could work in a medi spa. I also wanted to do Doctors without Borders.
So I have to find a job. I am going all these different directions. I had a Cosmetology license from before my first Bachelors so I thought I'll work as an esthetician and then start studying NCLEX again. When I pass I can migrate from doing facials to doing injections and laser. Well I took a couple advanced esthetics classes in peels and microdermabrasion, etc and I started interning at the place I get my facials. She works alone so she can't hire me. So I have been applying for esthetician jobs for a month and not a single bite. Not a call, email, nothing.
So now I am leaning back towards the medical field again but what can I do besides being a CNA. And even that requires flying to LA to challenge an exam. But I do not want to work in a CNA capacity. I will end up strangling myself within a week.
I can do a phlebotomy course or an EMT course because they are short BUT could I get hired for either of those? I totally see myself being an EMT. I know the pay is crap but I would be working in the medical field and then I could start studying again.
However, I don't want to waste time and money if I won't be able to get a job. And like everything it seems every single job wants experience before they will hire you.
I am at my wits end and I really don't know what to do. I feel like crawling under a rock. I am feeling like an unproductive member of society.
But please if anyone has suggestions of what type of jobs are in demand that I could do without going back to school for longer then a month please assist. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area so there are tons of two week classes for both EMT and phlebotomy but could I get a job?
Other jobs that I am missing? Ideas of job titles I can search in Indeed? I want to find a job that will allow a candidate who does not have experience and jobs in demand. Please...
