Re: Need sOme Advice: Nsg Homes vs. Hospital
Hospital patient load is much smaller, can be just as many as 5 patients in CA. With a nursing home, 30 to 60 that you are legally responsible for.
Hospitals have orientation of usually six weeks minimum, nursing home you will be lucky to get three days. If you are not starting there with exceptional skills to begin with, it is going to be a dangerous place for you to be. Also one of the highest areas that a nurse can lose their license in.
Not good for a foreign nurse for their first assignment in the US.
