Advice for Starting in a SNF

Hello Nurses of AllNurses,

I am a new grad RN enrolled in an RN-to-BSN program who just accepted an on-call position as an RN Supervisor at a SNF I had worked at briefly as a nursing assistant.

As an RN Supervisor, I would be responsible for up to 98 patients, 3 to 4 LVNs, and a handful of CNAs if they show up to their shift.

Orientation is about 3 days each for first and second shifts. Furthermore, I offered to be flexible, after the end of orientation, in accepting first and second shifts. Also, I was told I may be called in one to three times a week.

Over several weeks, I had been flipping back and forth on accepting this position because I was concerned about the workload and support I might receive as a new grad RN. (Moreover, I was stressed because I had researched a couple of posts that told a new grad to run from a supervising position, like this one.)

In addition, they offered me a lower rate than the one that was given to me today.

I would very much appreciate some advice. Did I make the right decision? What kind of rate should I have been expecting in Southern California with this position? If I did make the right decision, are there any tips you would recommend?

Thank you in advance.
