Long Term Care to Hospital

by LHH1996

I need advice on how to transition from working in a SNF for 13 years to a new career in a hospital. My first 7 years was in a ECF that was attached to a hospital and we would get pulled all over the hospital. So i have some experience on other units. the ECF was also much higher skill level back then than the SNF i have worked at since. As much as i enjoyed working in long term care, i feel i am burned out with this type. i currently work as an MDS Coordinator. i pick up extra hours as floor nurse and supervisor often. when i do those things it reminds me that i miss the more hands on patient care. i am just not sure how to approach them at the hospital level to let them know that i am serious about wanting a change in career and that i really want them to give me a chance.
anyone who has done this or has advice please let me know!

ITA. You're already picking up extra hours on the floor-it's not like you don't have any experience and you're supervising as well...Just Do It!!! Good Luck!!
