Okay so I was offered prn work through a staffing agency that works with a local nursing home.
They are aware I am a new grad with no experience other than my clinicals in school.
They said they mostly do elder care, passing meds, delegation, and charting.
My question to you experienced nurses is....what is to be expected with nursing care in this type of setting? What nursing skills will I be using?
Also, pros/cons of day/evening/night shift? I have a few days on the schedule that are available for the pickin, they are mostly 2:30-10:30 pm and 10:30 pm-6:30 a.m. What would be the differences in patient care/skills btwn the two shifts.
Thanks for any input you can offer.
Excited for a position and to get experience but yet nervous....I dont think they are preparing to "train" like an intern position...I think I am going into this full speed. And I dont want to look Stupid
