I've just taken a new job as DNS of a skilled facility. We have 3 units with 44 patients each. At the moment I am down 3 nurse managers. They tell me they have tried everything to get these slots filled.
So my question to all y'all is: What makes you want to go to a facility to at least fill out an application? What do y'all want as nurses? (Please be realistic---I'd love to pay nurses lots of money, but y'all know that won't happen any time soon.)
Specializes in Gerontology, Med surg, Home Health.
Bandit---I missed LTC...can you believe it...plus they gave me a really good hiring package so I didn't want to say no.
Ingelein-oh..you and your union. Can you believe when I worked for the VNA I actually was a union person? Too soon to say if I'll have a good relationship with my nurses. I've only been in the building for 8 days. So far the biggest talk has been about my tattoo. They tell me I'm hip!
