I have been an ER nurse/ flight nurse/ trauma coordinator for the past 21 years. Most recently I have worked as an ER CM/ UR nurse for the past 5 years. I have recently been approached by a local LTC facility asking me to apply for a position as an ADON. It is an approximately 200 bed family owned facility that wants me ultimately to work as the DON, however they feel that it's unfair to ask me to take this position until I have some LTC experience (so they say). I am very intrigued by this offer and would very much like to enter the LTC environment, however I have nothing to base my experience on to make a decision. I would very much like to talk to other DON/ ADON nurses to help me decide if this is something I would like to do. We are in the northern IL area and I suspect that I would love this line of work.....I just have nothing to base my opinion on for such a job. Any insight would be most appreciated. Regards, David
