I will be applying to a couple SNFs in my city. What questions should I ask during an interview?
These are questions I have come up with...
How long is orientation?
How many patient's does an RN usually care for during their shift?
Other questions you think I should be asking will be greatly appreciated!
I am a new grad. If offered a position do you think it's okay if I ask to have the same patients for a couple weeks until I get the hang of the facility? I've heard that RNs usually get 25+ patients and I honestly do not know what a lot medications are, so I'm sure it will take me quite awhile to look them up. At least if I had the same patients, I would eventually remember what each of them are for and who can and can't swallow their meds.
Thanks for all the info! I graduated three weeks ago, got my license 2 weeks ago, and start my first job at a SNF with roughly 20 patients on Monday. Yikes! I am both scared to death and excited at the same time. Jobs are insanely scarce here, so I am thrilled to be working so soon after graduating.
