(votes: 0)


Hello- hopefully this is in right forum. I am currently working in a SNF and I would like to know any tips or advice to move to a hospital job. Prettying anything would be great in the hospital but would like need surg or something along those lines. I feel as if I am learning bad skills that aren't what I remember bring good nursing skills in school. Amy help would be appreciated. I have about three months in working here. I know I won't last a year here.

Okay, that is good to know. I have put all that down in my resume, because I do all of that. I am also the "charge nurse" on the floor as I work NOC shift, meaning I am the only RN on the floor at night for about 100 patients. A little scary for a new grad, but I just had to go with it and ask the senior LVN for guidance on some things. I have ACLS, EKG and of course BLS. I will look into PALS as all of those classes are a pretty penny. Thanks for the feedback!

Make sure you emphasize your organizational skills on your resume. Also, can you use your clinical experiences from nursing school on your resume? Any acute experience will need to be documented on your resume, can you use any of your instructors for a professional reference?? Good Luck, it is difficult to change into acute care from LTC without previous acute care experience.
