Advice for new ADON

Hello all,

I have been out of a job for a while and even though I had applied at a lot of facilities the only place I was interviewed and offered a job was a local nursing home. I had to take the position because I needed the job. The position is an ADON. I do not have any LTC experience. The DON and administrator are both RNs as well and they both have many years LTC experience. I am very nervous about starting this position due to my lack of LTC experience. The DON and administrator both assure me that everything will be fine and they would rather train me that hire someone with a lot of experience who is set in their ways. I would appreciate any advice anyone could give me. I don't even know what my duties are. I am also concerned about what my legal liability will be as I have seen some care that is not up to my standards. The other thing is I was in a meeting and overheard someone saying that there was always an RN on call. Is the ADON typically oncall? I don't feel I know enough to be oncall. Also the reason I left my previous job was I was required to provide oncall and it got WAY out of controll. I guess I am just nervous and scared and would appreciate any advice!

Thanks!
