I'm new to the site. Anyways I'm a new grad nurse from CA. Graduated in January and passed my NCLEX last week. I just interviewed for a SNF and there's a high possibility that I'm going to get the job. They called me back saying there going go thru my references and all my information then they'll give me an official offer. When asking them questions during the interview about the role of RN, I left the interview feeling very scared and inadequate. They made it seem that the charge nurse position is going to be very difficult and fast paced and the training is only a few days. I feel that a few days isn't enough. I'm very grateful for getting the interview. Is there any advice out there? Any new grads who were hired at a SNF as a charge nurse with no experience? My goal is to work at a hospital. I love telemetry. If offered the position should I take it? Or turn it down and keep looking at hospitals only? Also I heard that hospitals don't hire nurses who worked at SNF, which makes no sense. I know it doesn't count as experience in certain hospitals. Is this true?
Thanks.
ph another thing. It seems that RNs that work in LTC or SNFs are offered supervisor positions which is very weird to me even for a new grad. All my friends that applied for SNFs are the supervisors at that facility.
