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.

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.

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.

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.

I was also expecting to have my pick but it appears not. I guess it’s because where we relocated most nursing jobs are 1hr and 30 min away. My second interview today seemed promising.
