Welp I got a Job offer today... For a summer position RN... Well if I graduate that is...
Job pays: 22/hr
Hospital is Huge for area...
Hard to get a job their... B/c they have their own nursing school... So they usually Hire them first...
I was offered... Full time 7p-7a... on Resp. Step down... (which I can tolerate)
The problem is... I heard the floor is Hell... Like most Respiratory floors are... But the Patient Ratio is 15:1... But you have 3 CNA's...
The Good... The hp is Known for Critical care in the tristate... And they are building new ICU WING... Thus, I could be able to transfer to the New ICU in a yr...
So would u say dive in... And work for the yr... Or take a position at another nearby Hp... Wear it's primary care... the the patient nurse ratio is 8 or 9 to 1...
:1luvu: 15 to 1 sound terrible. sound like a risk to your license as well . i like what someone else said, look at options from other places as well. there are critical care area's you could go into now without stressing over a work load that even the most seasoned nurse would have a difficult time handeling. you don't have to prove yourself in an unsafe envoronment to work critical care. best of luck with your dicision.
