I am a newer nurse in CA, I am currently working in pediatric home care but my job doesn't offer me many skills which I feel is really holding me back. I am looking to get into a skilled nursing facility as a stepping stone into acute care. I recently interviewed for a new grad program with a hospital but didn't get the position. The only reason I feel I didn't get it is my lack of experience and the time I've been out of school for (graduated with my ADN 2 years ago, and am going to be getting my BSN this next year). I am having trouble brainstorming an answer for "Where do you see yourself in 5 years" or my long term goals during an interview for a SNF position. I ultimately would like to get into acute care. I would plan on staying at the SNF while working towards my BSN, or until I am able to get a hospital position.
Can anyone help me?? THANK YOU!!
