New RN Subacute postion Boston ma

[RNsweets]

hi everyone! I REALLLY NEED HELP with this decision and i can't seem to find anyone who can help me. Currently i am working at a LTC facility in Springfield. 31 patients- 1 nurse. I absoloutely LOVE IT here BUT i am not learning as much. I've been working for about a month now and will be off orientation soon. Now, i just got hired at a kindred nursing home/ rehab facility working on a subacute floor. I haven't accepted it yet because I am afraid it may be too much for a new grad. They said I will have 22 patients for myself. In total it is 44 patients- 2 nurses, 1 charge nurse, 1 unit manager and 6 aides. Is 22 alot for a new grad and for a subacute floor?? I really love my job and want all the experiece that I can get but i am absolutely terrified of getting myself into something that I have no clue about.. Please help me!

Thank you NurseKatie. I have been trying in Boston to get a nursing home job and this was my only call back. I was offered two positions in Springfield instead. I rather be back home anyday. If its REALLLY too much to handle then i will pass on it.

Hi I am curious if you took the position, I will be finishing my LPN program in June and I am very curious about Kindred since they hire LPNs. I hear that I would see and learn a lot more there than in LTC, but if the conditions are awful it just wouldn't be worth it. Any insight is much appreciated thanks!
