Re: Applied for ADON and DON is a new nurse
RUN---do not walk---away from this position just as fast as you can. For one thing, if they were so desperate they had to hire a new nurse as DON, that says a lot about their ability to keep any sort of staff. For another, YOU will end up being the one who works every shift when someone calls in (and that, as you know, is a very frequent occurrence in LTC). You will also be used in every manner possible, and once you get burned out, they will throw you under the bus first chance they get.
I think you really have to have worked in some bad LTCs to know what it's like to be in a good one, and you sound like you've BTDT. Be wise, and let this 'opportunity' pass.......there'll be another.
