Two job offers in LTC

[078207]

I just finished 1/4th of my BSc nursing degree. I just received two casual job offers from ltc in my area. One is where I had my clinical, and i loved working there. It's a small facility ~60 residents, but it is a new building, and they practice Eden philosophy. The other facility is a large chain facility, they have over 150 residents, it is a new facility, and they practice a client-centered focus.

Both offers, offer the same pay, both casual. I feel if i take the offer from the larger facility i might get more hours, however, i know the facility i did my clinical at has really good staff retention.

I've heard good things about both places, however, somethings about the larger facility made me question it.

Anyone know of any questions that I can ask that might set the two apart ?

I would ask questions to the managers about how they handle conflict and bullying in the workplace, Knowing that you will have management that supports you when you need their help. Also ask about retention at the other facility as it does say a great deal about how pleasant it is to work there.

If you're only 1/4 through your degree I might hold off on making any commitments though. There are still many more rotations and if you already have two offers there may be more.
