Kindred hospital in Chicago or nursing home?

[Kb_RN17, BSN]

Hi, I've worked at a skilled nursing home for 4 years as a nurse(LPN to RN) and I just finally for my bachelors of nursing so I can transition to a hospital setting. I'm having a hard time getting into a hospital bc I don't have one year experience in a hospital or acute setting. I mostly work in the sub acute at the nursing home. It's hard I get 25-28 pts and I do all the vitals signs and blood sugars and I do sly of patient hands on care (cna work) and 95% of the time I don't take a break ... I got a call back from Kindred hospital but I'm not reading good things about them. But I'm thinking is a nursing home worse than kindred? If so... Maybe I can survive kindred hospital.??anyone have input on kindred Chicago north off melrose med surg unit?

Go for it, get some experience in med surg and if you don't like it at that hospital transfer to another hospital- which should be easier because then you would have had some experience or you can always go back to sub acute, they are always looking for help :)
