As tempted as I am to respond in kind, I will only say, dont close doors, you made an emotional choice and I wish you well if not for yourself, but for your patients. I am glad that you are confident in your education, but that doesn;t end with your degree.
New nurses should walk around with their eyes and ears open and their mouths closed.
One day you will be repeating this to someone else.

Sorry you guys who took my message the wrong way. I really didn't mean to come across as rude. I apologize if you felt offended, and I hope you will forgive me. I guess some of the negative responses just made me feel a little on the defensive side, and a little upset. I'm just a nurse, trying to get my foot in the door, just like everyone else.

Re: Advice for newer RN to LTC supervisor position
I have to say, confidence is something I wish I had more of. I deal with not having enough confidence on a daily basis. It's faith that keeps me going, and a good support system at work. It sounds like you work in a very supportive environment. Never be scared to ask questions. I ask questions constantly. Psych is a great field to work in. It's always interesting. I do consulting for a couple of group homes. It's interesting evaluating how certain psych meds affect the client's behavior. I remember in my psych class it was all about those open-ended questions, that allowed the patient to talk freely. My passion is to one day do Hospice. I always want to keep my foot in the door of psych nursing as well. It took me until after nursing school to figure out what I wanted to do with my nursing career. Just stick in there! It sounds like you're on the right road  .

Please understand that no one is trying to squelch your dreams or ambition. Some of us see ourselves in you and just want to help you avoid the mistakes we've made. It's very possible to mess up one's career and/or self-esteem by getting into a position for which one is not prepared and then getting terminated---or staying on and feeling like a failure all the time.
Wishing you the best,

(2) Supervisor of Nurses: The supervisor of nurses shall be a registered nurse with at least
two years of nursing experience, one of which has been in a charge nurse capacity. The
supervisor of nurses shall be responsible for: the supervision of nursing care and nursing
personnel, the supervision and evaluation of staff assignments and performance, the
supervision of patient care, the application and evaluation of patient care plans and the
integration of nursing care with other professional services.
The above is copied from the Massachusetts DPH regs for LTC.

AHHHH but the Administrator doesn't care - these are the problems of the nurse not him, its cheaper and more convenient for him to get an inexperienced new RN who might not know when she is stepping in it....and if she falls on her face, what does he care, she is disposable to him- for the next patsy.
Those of us with a bit of experience know what is really going on here, but from what I understood from her post, the OP doesn't want to hear any more advice and will not read your important post...too bad!!
