Hi guys! Im new to allnurses.com and I signed up because I've figured that who else can help me but my fellow nurses? So anyways, I have a question.
Im being offered an on-call job at a convalescent hospital in Los Angeles. They said that someone is quitting soon to purse their RN degree so I will eventually land a full-time position. They also said that I will only be trained for two days, 3 if i ask for an extra day, and the nurse patient ratio is 1 to 45-50. Now Im just curious to know if that will be too overwhelming especially for a new grad? Im a little afraid to take the job because the number of beds I will be assigned to and all the duties it comes with (admissions, transfers, discharge, manual daily and weekly charting, meds, emergencies, and the unavoidable family concerns) My two sisters are LVNs as well and the max beds that they hold is 35 and they say that its pretty stressful already. So i cant even imagine 45-50! But as a new grad I feel like I NEED to take it because Im not really getting any calls from the places (mostly facilities) that Ive applied to and my bills arent going away. It has actually risen because of my school loans. Any advice guys?
