ROAD DOG

I have been a RN for ten years. In this time I have worked in several specialties. My most current specialty is in end-of-life care and I even hold a certification. I am also in my first semester to become a FNP. I am still thrilled about getting accepted. My patient care in hospice is soul filling but I was ready to get back into acute care. I applied to numerous positions at local hospitals. I even received some call backs. Most hospitals that called me didn't have any open positions. The problem that I saw was that I have been out of acute care for three years. I new of a small long term acute care center that served a great population of patients that had exceeded their time allowed in hospitals. They have an ICU, Med/Surg and rehab facility. They offered me a position working nights. 31 dollars an hour for weekdays and 37 dollars an hour for weekends. Do you think this will be a good area for me to gain knowledge to become a strong FNP? What do you think of the pay? Thank you in advance for your feedback. FNP2B
