I am thinking about taking a position as a RN weekend supervisor at a ltac/residential home. Do any of you know what that job would entail? I can't find a sample job description anywhere.

You'll have to check with your manager as every workplace is different. When I did weekend supervising I did admissions, handled all the crisis situations such as assessing the resident, calling the MD, calling 911 etc. I would also do all the wound care since the wound nurse worked monday through Friday. If you're short a nurse you may have to push the med cart.Basically you will be reponsible for everything that happens.

Thank you. That's exactly what I assumed but there hasn't been anyone in this position for quite some time and with nursing administration going through a transition, there isn't anyone to guide me.
