   I am also interested in any answers to this question. I am currently enrolled in the BSN-MSN flexpath at capella, but just realized that I cannot obtain the degree at Capella that I need to pursue my FNP. Any suggestions to which masters degree in nu...

2. New ADON Job Concerns

   cmf2021 replied to cmf2021's topic in General Nursing

   There were no incentives for staff to work extra. No Union. No agency staff. Honestly, I have ZERO LTC experience, it’s always been either inpatient or outpatient nursing, so that certainly could be a huge factor in all of this. I clearly didn’t know...

   cmf2021 replied to cmf2021's topic in General Nursing

   I don’t know about the MOD, but who knows maybe that would come up on week 2! there is a separate MDS nurse, but staff development was my responsibility as well. The HR woman asked me if I could find a sitter on call for when I was on call &...

   cmf2021 replied to coopman712's topic in Online Learning

   I know this post is a little old, but I plan on starting in March (waiting on transcripts!) and I would love to get it done as quick as possible. It's great to hear that this is possible & that I don't have to be committed to another year of scho...

5. New ADON Job Concerns

   cmf2021 replied to cmf2021's topic in General Nursing

   No, it certainly was not. Which is unfortunate. I just wish these employers would be more transparent during the interview process so we know what will be expected of us when we start. It's such a waste of everyone's time for things like this to happ...

6. New ADON Job Concerns

   cmf2021 replied to cmf2021's topic in General Nursing

   Yea, I went in a little blindsided to say the least. I think they wanted to fill the position, so they left out some key details about the job. And yea..just go wait outside in the cold while I make a phone call... I had to pick my jaw up off the flo...

7. New ADON Job Concerns

   cmf2021 replied to cmf2021's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you, I felt the same way. I didn’t like the way I found out about it either. Being told on your first day that “oh yea btw you’re also the compliance & infection control nurse “ I was like, what?!

   Thank you, I do appreciate hearing that how I handled it was the right way. and in your situation, being kept around just to get through a survey is just dirty!

9. New ADON Job Concerns

   cmf2021 replied to cmf2021's topic in General Nursing

   I honestly don’t know if they are due for survey. I know a lot of the agencies/facilities in my area have been getting visits from the state recently, so that very well could be happening in the near future. the current DON has been in her role for j...

10. New ADON Job Concerns

    cmf2021 replied to cmf2021's topic in General Nursing

    So this being my 3rd day as the ADON, I haven't actually seen my boss only in passing. After finding out about the added job roles and on call expectations yesterday I went in today set to speak with her about it. When I saw her this morning, I asked...

    cmf2021 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I started a new job today. It’s for the ADON of a long term facility. During general orientation, the HR manager happened to throw in that I would also be the infection control nurse and the compliance officer. I also found out yesterday, while speak...

12. ADON etc etc etc

    cmf2021 replied to cmf2021's topic in Career Support

    Yea, you’re right. There’s always that extra sentence at the bottom that says that! A bit shady, but I guess my own fault at this point, and something I’ll have to deal with

14. Getting off the "do not hire" list?

    cmf2021 replied to cmf2021's topic in General Nursing

    That’s awful! I’m so sorry that happened to you! It’s places like that that ruin our chances at employment. That’s a ridiculous reason for them to put you on a list & to destroy your chance at another opportunity down the road. I’m on this lis...
