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?
However, I think there is a little guilt in that I haven't really done anything recently to earn a $9000 raise. Yes, there's been issues at work and with some of the coworkers, but I do wonder how much I contributed to the problems. I'm sure I played a role. If I'm being honest, I think some of it had to do with not being able to tolerate the new supervisor favoring someone else. I'd gotten pretty used to accolades from my previous supervisor, so when the new supervisor put the spotlight on someone else, I felt replaced and gradually started distancing myself away from them. I do wonder if things could have been different. I don't necessarily think the favoritism towards my colleague would have gone away (for some reason, her opinions are more respected than mine and probably always will be; in a way, it's a shame that she wasn't an RN because she probably would have fit in as an ADON), but I wonder if, somehow, we could have had a working relationship.

Uh-oh. Is it a case of the devil you know vs the unknown?
