Yes i was foolish when i worked an acute shift at the same hospital i was waiting to start my pool role.. they asked me if i wanted a jon and I thought i was being loyal by kindly declining thinking oppertunities would come my way eventually.. but when i started to ask my manger if i could start some acute shifts she said i had to wait the 6 months and then only they would consider me if my track record is good.... i frel like be then all my acut nursing skills will be gone... im thinking on going part time and going back to agency.. I live the hospital im at.. but not the role im in
Many of my former coworkers have moved on from subacute rehab into acute care hospital specialties such as med/surg, ortho, inpatient renal, neuro, and acute rehab.
You'll need to emphasize the experience you've accrued in subacute that would be applicable to the acute care setting (read: time management, wound care, med administration, assessments, Medicare charting).

No one will hire me for acute beacuse I have been in sub acute since I graduated only. year ago.. i feel trapped and depressed... its not where i want to be. I can't afford any more school... When i did agency i was always on acute... but the work is inconsistent money wise... Rehab is not where i want to be!
