She said my training would be about 8-10 weeks depending. More or less depending on what I need and don't need. The one who is training me would be my direct supervisor and who I would go to for help in the end.

Also outside of the General HR orientation the woman who interviewed me will be training me.

I'm 38, had an accounting career and left it for nursing. I plan on still staying PRN in the hospital I'm at now.

Thank you this is the type of information I wanted!!

Communication skills is what I gained from working in bars and restaurants. Accounting the paperwork side of it. And nursing to access. I'd cover 3 hospitals for one of the area nursing homes they own. I'm not saying I'm taking the Job or not I'm trying to gain insight into the job itself

I'm trying to gather as much information as I can before making a decision. Prior to this interview I never knew this type of nurse existed.

Who said I didn't believe them, I'm just trying to wrap my head around everything and get opinions.

It's a very big nursing home company with 30 plus locations in my state. I want this to be a good opportunity for me with a lot of room to grow. I was just looking to see if any other new grads had anything similar

That's why I am asking for help. I am always looking for what is wrong with the situation before I jump into anything. My interviewer told me she called me as a new grad because of my lpasr experience. I am a second degree nurse with my first one being in accounting. In addition to having worked in bars, and being administrative assistant I have with all three of those jobs been able to fine tune my communication skills. Which is why she said she even called me as a new grad to begin with. She likwnall of you was questioning my assessment/bed side skills but she quickly dismissed them when she met me. I would be the first new grad she has hired for a position like this. I'm so confused as to what to do. I have interviewed for a ton of jobs and only been offered a PRN and a part time. I really need full time for my family and the benefits but I don't want to kill my career at the same time.

I'm not sure how to answer that, without it coming across harsh. However, my interviewer felt confident enough in my skills to offer me the job. I've been working PRN in a hospital since passing the boards, however I need something full time now that I'm out of orientation and not getting hours like I was while training. I was hoping it would lead to full time sooner rather then later. It hasn't though and I need the benefits and on paper this company is great. Along with the hours of 8-430 which works better for me then 12's.

I'd have a tablet to do all of my entry on the patient into the spread sheets and what not. From what I was told in my interview, I would be reading over the patients file first sort of wrapping my head around who they are, they going and doing an assessment on the patient to make sure they are a good fit for that NH. I would be doing follow ups with them after they go home too, and of course talking to the doctors and staff at the hospital. From what she made it sound like there is no sales in it. It is a transitional care nurse evaluating the patients for a safe transfer.

Hey all. So I am a new grad as of May just passed the boards in July have been interviewing at all different types of places. I was just offered a job as a Clinical Liaison for a nursing home. The job sounds wonderful. Small travel area, good pay, phone, travel reimbursement, and benefits. My question is this a good job for a new grad right out of school. I am told I will still be using my assessment skills, as well as some clinical skills. Do you think this is wise as a new grad to take a position like this? I was never crazy about being in a hospital, and was even thinking of taking a psych nursing job since I was 100% on doing patient care all shift. Any words of advice???
