Today has been a really nervous day for me as I have 2 job interviews lined up. The first one ended very quickly as they require for me to drive and I cannot drive. But still I prepared a lot for the interview.
Now waiting for second one in 2 hours time. I am really struggling to find a suitable nursing job. Can you believe it? I have been searching for 6 months now and I am really starting to panic.
Is the job market also tough where you are?

I am so surprised as well. I was thinking I could rest for 2 months and find job right away like my previous jobs but it’s been 6 months now and nothing. Nursing jobs now require lots of prerequisite trainings when before most hospitals will fund your training.

Wow! I thought you’d be in great demand? Are you still in London? Surely they are crying out for nurses in the capital. I’m shocked

@Orson_Kart I do have the ups and downs. I am losing motivation to do anything and I feel like I am depressed but I do have PCOS so sometimes I try to just blame it on hormones or lack of iron.
My little dog is keeping me have a sense of purpose and I am grateful my husband has a good job that can provide for the both of us.

@flapiz Hey, I’m sorry to hear this. I just don’t understand how you aren’t being snapped up. How come you’re not more active on here then? I hope you aren’t depressed. As Mr Micawber says, “something will turn up”

That is very surprising that you're finding it difficult to find a nursing job. I would think they would be looking for nurses and you would have your pick of which one to accept. Hope you find one and that it's perfect for you.

@Marilynda1225 Yes it is not sustainable to be honest.

@flapiz hope you get the job. Having to travel over an hour and a half would be hard.

I'm sorry you missed out on the first job. Hopefully all the work you put in will help in future applications. Wishing you good luck with the next interview. I don't really know about the job market here but I thinking nursing jobs would be relatively easy to get.

Thank you Judy. I am a bit confused as well this is my first time struggling to find a nursing job. It doesn’t help that job sites are now overrun by fake jobs and automated by AI. I feel like I am getting screened out before even an interview.

Are you still in the UK?
I see you are still in the UK
I thought you were already a nurse.
The NHS is crying out for Nurses, isn't it?

@Ineeddentures My husband had enough of commuting 2 hours from Bath to London and 2 hours from London to Bath.So we moved to London early this year.
I thought it was a no brainer he earns 4x than what I earn and I am a nurse it should be easy to find a job. But 6 months now and still searching.

I would say that the job market is a bit tough here, but I am thanking the Lord that I was recently hired to a job. My start date has been delayed, however due to different factors.

Six months is a long time to be searching, so I can understand why you're starting to feel discouraged. And having the first interview end almost immediately because of a driving requirement must have been frustrating, especially after you spent so much time preparing for it.

Thank you for your empathy. I was cramming and studying for the first interview and it was a bit disheartening. I did have a more positive 2nd interview but I think it was the HR so I still would need interview with the ward manager. I hope this is it. I love being at home and my husband can afford it but I want to be able to stand on my own two feet. I am too young to be a housewife with no kids.

@BACONSTRIPSXXX the interview went well. She said she will forward my CV to the ward manager and crossing my fingers they like me.
