I just started last week. Yes I am a new grad. The problem is it's so difficult to find a job so I decided to take it. They said they would train me but I don't feel it's enough training for me in a week.

Thank you for your response

I am a RN new grad hired as a RN supervisor at a SNF and I don't feel safe where I work. I have so much respect for the medical workers (LVNs and CNAs) that enter this field, however I think our facility is way understaffed. They have a high turnover rate from what I was told. I only get 5 days of training which is scary. Some of my own preceptors don't want to teach me. I just feel I'm not getting enough training. One of the LVNs told me they made her figured it out on her own. I've seen patients with ulcers not being turned and everything that I was taught being thrown out the window. I don't blame them especially with the amount of patients, charting, and other things they have to do, but this is how it is at a SNF. Everyone has their own area they need to take care of and it's very difficult to find help especially if you work the afternoon or graveyard shift. I'm scared to lose my license. A part of me doesn't want to quit because I haven't been getting any interviews, but at the same time I'm questioning myself if I should just let it go. I really don't know what to do. I never imagined in to be this hard to look for a job.
