I was wondering if anyone has some advice that they can give me. I was offered a position as a charge nurse in a small nursing home facility. I will be one of only two RN's working in this nursing home on the floor. LPNs will be working alongside of us doing the same job that we are doing. I went to observe one day at the nursing home to see if it would be a good fit. I asked a lot of questions of the nurse I was with and here are some of my main concerns; vital signs are only done once a week assessments are only done once or twice a week and the CNAs seemed upset/ unfriendly and not happy at all. I really want to work in a nursing home and this position has the hours and is the size that I want to work in. However i am worried and here is my other concern they are offering a 5000 dollar sign on bonus. That sounds great however y such a high offer. I do not know a lot about nursing homes but I do know that in most homes vital signs and assessments are done on a regular daily basis. Can someone please give me advice on whether or not I may be walking into an nightmare/unsafe practice
