New Grad RN in Skilled Nursing/Rehab...5 days orientation?

Nurses General Nursing

Published

Just accepted a full-time position working 3rd shift at a LTC working in the skilled/rehab unit, I'm a little wary as they only offer 5 days of orientation with 1:16 nurse to patient ratios; is this standard for this type of position or should I be running the other way? The facility is brand new and seems like a really nice facility; haven't had much staff interaction as of yet though either.

Also, appreciate the wealth of knowledge the LPNs and CNAs have to offer. In my experience, they know more about the residents, the facility and the needs of all involved.
