Unhappy My office is closing

It never fails! Everytime I get a job that I like they either close the business or eliminate the position...This seems to be the story of my life! I am 51 and fear that no one will hire me. I do bartend part time but, that isn't consistent money. I was thinking about taking a nursing course. I was checking out LPN...however, the only course I can find is PN...is there a difference between LPN and PN? I'm a little confused. Maybe the practical nurse doesn't have to be licensed anymore?

Brenda, I'm so sorry. I worry all the time that something will happen with my job. Not that I LOVE my job, but I do love the insurance and the time off it affords me. I really need to find a part time job to help supplement.

I hope you're able to find something you're really interested in and will enjoy....that always helps.

I'm so sorry about your job. With today's economy you just never know what tomorrow might hold. I do know that nursing is one of the top professions to go into and the pay is really, really good. Good luck!!

Aww Brenda sorry to hear the business is closing. With this economy no wonder, i'm wondering about my job too, if the steel mills continue to close, i'll be in the unemployement line also.
