Will you quit this SNF? (it's hard to work at SNF infrequently as a Per-Diem)

[50kn]

I have been working for this SNF as a per-diem RN for about a little more than a year. This SNF schedule me to work only once in 1-2 months, I have worked there only several times so far even though I was hired last year. For example, in this year, I worke there one day in February, two days in April, and they are asking me to work one day in August.

I have another full time job at a hospital, but the nursing skill that I use for my current job is almost limited to only GT, so I chose to work at this SNF because I can still gain experience to do IVs, IMs, subc, etc...

But problem is that I sometimes feel uncomfortable working there (especially night shift). Because I work there only once in a while, I don't really know the patients well. The patients are mix of Medicare Pts, long term Pts, and Hospice Pts. Also, I feel this SNF job is way too busier compare to my current full time hospital job. If I work there at night shift, I pass meds to 40+ patients plus do IVs and usually I am the only RN working.

If I can work there more frequently, I would be able to know the patients better and feel more comfortable but now I work there only very occasionally, I usually try to go there at least 30 minutes before I work and get information about the patients.

If you were me, would you still work this SNF to gain experiences or quit because it is kind of scary to take care of the patients that you don't really know at SNF? Is there somebody work at SNF only occasionally like me? Or will you quit this SNF?

Isn't it ironic that you have more chances to learn skills and use yours in a SNF than in the hospital when most people think nurses in SNFs don't need any skill!
