I was thinking the same exact thing. I am currently working for two LTC facilities. Director level at one, supervisor at another (per diem). I was told that I would not be able to work at any LTC facility. Additionally if a family member would be placed in a facility, I would not be able to conduct any work on that facility. Both would be a conflict of interest, understandably. The opportunity seems great, however I have concerns. Decisions, decisions!

@amoLucia thanks for the reply! I agree with all those. While I am a fairly new nurse, I've climbed the ladder rather quickly. I've primarily worked in leadership roles within LTC, director level. I'm familiar with most rules and regs. However still very much learning every day. I'm just wondering if this would be a good move for me. How will this appear on my resume. Would it be desirable by future employers? Or would it be looked at negatively? I'm wondering if there's anyone that worked as a surveyor and what was their next move after. Any regrets?

Hi everyone, I'm interested in pursuing a NYS DOH Nursing Home Surveyor and Complaint Investigator position. Does anyone have experience with this? Pros and cons? I know the salary is terrible, however I believe it's also low stress. Would this position be helpful for future employment? What types of roles would have a desire for surveyor experience? Any thoughts or comments would be helpful. Especially from current or past surveyors.
