dilemma, need advice...

I got hired a retirement home but it seems that the census is huge, 86 and I am the only LPN on, no RN at night. The whole thing terrifies me for many reasons. I would like an opinion, I have not started yet, should I back out now or should I try it. I know that I will not stay if I find another job. I just think that this load is too much for a new grad. So my question is should I try it and look for another job or just pack it in. I don't think being at a job for a few weeks looks very good on a resume but who knows.

Thanks for any advice.

Dont take the position! That is ridiculous nurse/patient ratios. Keep looking and you'll find something that wont set you up for failure.
