Job Advice - Please Help!

Hi,

I am a new grad and due to the many hospitals closings here in NJ and my need to work a day shift, I have to start out in LTC on a subacute unit. I would like to transfer this experience to a med/surg hospital position in the near future (hospital I want to work at wants experienced nurses). I want to do home health in the future and would require med/surg experience (acute care).

My question is, have you seen many LTC nurses hired in your facility? How is the transition for them? I am guessing that by working on a subacute unit I would gain more valuable experience than if I worked at a nursing home.

Thanks for your reply!!!

Keep trying for that hospital job. It may take awhile but that is where you need to be.

You may want to take an acute care nursing course or class to get a certificate, that may get you the job you want. It's a suggestion. I hope it will work. :nurse:

Working at a LTC facility is better than being unemployed and you will get experience, particularly if you work in subacute. You need to continue pursuing a hospital job to better further your career. And you can get work in home health with experience from LTC subacute. I had LTC experience and got hired in home health.
