Hello, I've been reading allnurses.com for quite some time now and this is my first post! :) [Hopefully many more to come]
I created this thread to ask the advice of experienced nurses and first year nurses about their opinion on a job offer I was given. I will not put the name of the organization nor will I give it if someone asks. [To protect the privacy of myself and the organization.] Without further ado, here it is:
JOB TITLE: RN Staff Member
FLOOR: Med Surg/Rehab
FLOOR CENSUS: Cardiac, Trachs, Post surgical, Post stroke, Rehab in general. No respirators.
BEDS AVAILABLE: 36
AVERAGE PATIENT OCCUPANCY: 25-30
STAFF: 2 Registered Nurses, 4 Nurse Aids [No Doctors. Not sure if a nurse manager will be there too.]
SHIFT: 3PM - 11PM
PAY: $24.75/HR
TRAINING PERIOD: ~8 Weeks to 12 weeks
Simple Question: Would you accept this job offer? Why or Why not? I have been given some time to think about it and would also like to consider the opinions of others before making my own decision. If you require more information to make a decision, feel free to ask and I will try to answer it, however, keep it objective please! Well... I look forward to hearing your opinion, so please answer :)
*Also I tried adding a poll for a simple yes/no for those that don't wish to post. If it's not present can a moderator add it please??
