Hello,
I have been in LTC as a charge nurse for 6 years. I have been approached about taking a DON position at our sister facility. It's small (40 beds) and at this time well staffed. Can I handle this? Yes, I know floor nursing. Yes, I have been through several states surveys, but all the other stuff I have left to the DON. I want to give it a shot, but I understand this is a serious responsibility. My current director would be available for training and questions. What do you think? What are some things I should consider before accepting?
Thanks!
