i've been a supervisor at a snf/sub acute facility for a little over 2 years. Until May, when I left for mat. leave, I was whole-house supervisor on weekends. In July, while on mat. leave, I was asked to take a newly created night shift whole house supervisor position, which I did. I've always gotten excellent evals, and in my current position/shift, I've made positive changes. I have a Bachelor's degree. On Monday, the previous unit manager was fired. The Director of Nursing told me Tuesday morning, at which time I told her I was very interested in the position, that I wanted The Director of Nursing told me Tuesday morning, at which time I told her I was very interested in the position, that I wanted to get further involved with management. She said "interesting" multiple times, she thought I had to work night shift b/c of the baby and that I liked it, to which I responded that while that was the case in July, my schedule was wide open, since my DH is now a SAHD, and that while I liked my position, I did not enjoy the off-shift. The conversation ended with her telling me to sign up when the position was posted in the break room, which I did.
Since then I am the only person who has signed up, but I have been told by the persons themselves that the DON has asked 2 people to take the position-a PT girl who has never worked on the unit in question, which is busier with a higher acuity w/ no supervisory experience, who's been a nurse for less than a year, and a woman who's been a nurse longer than me but who's only supervisory experience is since I left for mat. leave-she's who I trained to cover for me, she's been at the facility for less than a year and has a 2 year degree. I've also found the position posted on careerbuilder.com. i should also add that while the previous mgr was on fmla, i filled in for her for 6 weeks. the position is salary with better benefits than my current position. I have not heard anything one way or the other. My DH thinks I should call Mon. and ask whether I am being considered or not. what do you think?
if i don'get this position i am leaving-why waste my time if i have no future? i've turned down other opportunities
