2. Job is second shift staff nurse with potential to train in charge nursing after a few months
3. 6-8 pts per nurse
4. Variety of medical conditions and patients (med-surg)
5. Apparently a cohesive, supportive nursing team
6. 401k fund
A few other points: I am a new grad, with only 6 months experience, so I was surprised to be interviewed for house supervisor and 'potential' charge nurse positions. The pay may be slightly more at Job B (about 32k/year) than at Job A (30k/year) although the interviewer in job A mentioned an hourly figure that would come to about 38k/year, so I'm not totally sure.
Is working for a state facility better? I've heard gov't jobs are good. That's where the 403b fund comes in I guess. "House Supervisor" would look good on a resume' too I think. Can anyone share their LTC facility experiences? What are your thoughts on these offers?
House Supervisor with only 6 months experience. You've got to be kidding me. That right there should have sent up BRIGHT red flags to you. Your not ready for a job like that and I cant think of any reason why they would even interview you for such a position. Something is VERY fishy there. (I'm not saying anything bad about you, its just 6 months is not enough experience to be considered for a job like that. Please don't take my comments the wrong way:) )I would go for the Hospital job, even though the interviewer took things to far. IF they are your only 2 options. Personally, I'd look elsewhere. Good Luck and keep us posted.

Another vote for B. I think as a new grad for you to go into a supervisory position in a potentially stressful environment might be asking for trouble.
Get some experience under your belt before you tackle "house supervisor" positions.
edited: Big red flag about the racist remarks. Proceed with caution. Good luck.
