As some of you may know, I took an ADON position about 3 months ago. It has been somewhat of a disappointment.
Word has gotten around, and the other day, I had a supervisor in the assisted living reacn out to me about a new position. It would be an RN Case Manager, Monday through Friday job, with on-call once a month.
The job would primarily entail completing admissions and assessments, two things I love. I would have little to no involvement with the COVID/Infection Control aspect of things, something I pretty much despise. I would also have a 2nd floor office, instead of one in the basement.
Downside is, there will be a pay cut. But I can't help but wonder if a fresh start would be good and am considering applying for it.
Thoughts? Has anyone ever switched from SNF to ALF?
I have an in-person interview tomorrow. My parents are trying to discourage me from taking this position due to the slight decrease in pay, but I'm feeling like a change is warranted and this could be a good thing. I just feel this ADON position was a mistake and they need to find someone else.
If I'm being honest, the ADON is a garbage position that they use to give trash assignments to. They want me to work like a dog, but I won't have it. I've done that before. I'm not doing it again.

Hoping your interview went well and if you choose the position, it's the fresh start you're looking for. It's unfortunate that your parents aren't more supportive, but you know yourself best.

Completely agree. As long as you're able to get by on the pay cut, your parents should support your mental health above all else.
I am so glad you took it and are getting out of there!! Keep us posted on how its goes!
Yeah, I'm excited. Part of me thinks it doesn't look the greatest to leave the ADON position after only 3 months. But yet, this workplace has become extremely toxic. I need to get out of here, finally.
