I’m a retired LPN. Well before retirement I had to go to stop working due to having osteoarthritis very bad of the knees. I’m trying to find a job but I don’t want anything that I have to work nights, evening, weekends or holidays nor have to take call. In my 42 years of working I have done all that and more. My question is I have applied 6 times for a clinic assistant job with the Virginia Beach School System. I did 2 interviews one virtual and the other in person. Received email did get job

Consider collagen if you have osteo-arthritis and fish oil . Only you will only know by trying it if it helps those knee joints and bones glide past each other better. It helps my sciatica!

LPN or RN, age discrimination is rampant and difficult to prove. As an RN and a senior citizen I am finding I get turned down again and again. Very hard to find part time days position outside of acute care hospital. It’s very discouraging.

I am focusing on skills. Wound care or IV. I see many jobs around and with wound care, you can work PRN. I am also considering doing agency work on a PRN basis. Things are definitely crazy. Have you thought about obtaining different skills, such as data? This is a badly sought after skillset and can allow you to work from home and open up a pool of interdisciplinary positions that need your knowledge. I am considering that as well.

I have the skills in data management, data entry, electronic filing, project management, can work many software systems, my skills continue beyond these skills as that is just the tip of iceberg.

You could apply to work remotely from home as a chronic care manager or do remote patient monitoring. After knee surgery and shoulder surgery 3 years later, I decided enough is enough. I am in my 50s and work from home making more money and don't need to ever worry about being short-staffed or how I am going to get hurt this time.

I feel you. I'm having the same issue along with most of my laid off co-workers. Like you I have been there and done that in my 45 years of working and putting into the system that is now giving me a hard time collecting my benefits that I paid for. I finally got my SNAP but still pending other benefits. It doesn't do much for one self esteem especially when you keep getting rejected even for jobs that you have been doing for years. I have NEVER had such a hard time getting a job or be unemployed for this long. I wish us both luck.

I agree with Program Manager 1. Having worked for a large health insurance company myself in the past, they have positions for Nurses as Case Managers, etc., where you work remotely from home.
