Upset with Being an Unemployedlosermooch

I had a job last year as a CNA. I hated it. The charge nurses verbally abused me and when I reported them for this, nothing was done at all. So, one day I was fed up while one of the charge nurses was blaming me for some incident having to do with a patient. I told her I hadn't been with the patient at the time of this incident and that I was actually at lunch. She called me a stupid liar and I told her to fuck off. I got fired.

That was November 2008. Now is May 2009 and I still remain without a job. I have applied to over 20 places for all types of positions... and I have been rejected by each and every one. I tried signing up for snagajob but all the jobs they give me have required certain experience.

I am ineligible for any type of government assistant due to the fact that I got fired. So.. no unemployment checks for me.

My older sister buys me shit once in a while if I act as her taxi. My parents pay for my gas so I can drive around looking for jobs. Both my parents and my sister pay for my car (maintenance and insurance). And I had saved about 2000 bucks last year to help pay for textbooks and such when I start school this coming Fall. All that is gone and my parents said they are going to pay for that plus tuition.




I'm grateful they're helping me.. but damn.. I hate feeling like such a mooch and a loser.


Gimme what you have please.. comments.. ideas.. experiences..advice..whatever.

I have a feeling this situation should get better as time passes.. but time is just going too slowly. My life is experiencing a flat tire and I wish I could just get going already, y'know??

Do you have any other background besides nursing? Are you looking for related jobs only?

If you haven't already, you might want to try volunteering. (What?! Work for free?!) It's a great way to pick up new skills, exercise the ones you have, and, most important, to meet people as you give back to your community.

Most jobs don't come by answering ads or mailing out resumes. Most jobs come from people you know, and volunteering is a way to meet people. They will know of your situation eventually, and if something comes up, they'll let you know. People, generally, like to help other people when they can (especially if they too are volunteering for whatever reason).

When deciding on where to volunteer, think of causes that mean something to you. Think of issues that may have affected your friends or family, and find an organization that does work in that area. Find out about their volunteer programs. Most organizations are always looking for help.

Who do you think runs these things usually? People with a lot of contacts. People who will know what you can do and will think of you if they know someone who needs to fill a position.
