Frustrated
I went into hospital back at the end of November. I was in for four weeks and had ECT for my depression. I lost my job in August after returning from an 18mth absence. I feel good now and ready to work.
I applied for a job and interview . I was required to tell them that I had had depression and had a condition on my nursing registration that I am to be supervised by another nurse and it can be done remotely.eg by the manager of the unit. I didn't get the job because they were concerned that when staffing numbers were low I wouldn't cope.
I feel that because I have to reveal this information to prospective employers that I will face this sort of discrimination every time making my employment prospects nil. I have get a full time job before because that's when the money runs out.
