Downside to accepting management position?Rating: (votes: 0) I am not a manager so I am not qualified to answer some of your questions. I do work with a nurse who used to do critical care at bedside but now manages an outpatient clinic. She picks up two shifts a month as a bedside nurse to keep her skills up. She says she loves the outpatient clinic because they work with a very specialized group of patients, but she also enjoys bedside. I think she has found a good balance that will help her have freedom to choose her future and not be stuck in a particular role. Comment:
I think it depends on your location. Do the local employers value that LTC/SNF experience or do they group all non-hospital experience in the same bucket?
Comment:
Since I personally dislike hands-on procedural skills and bedside care, I couldn't care less if I never received an acute care hospital job during my entire nursing career.A downside to accepting a managerial SNF position is the possibility that your hands-on procedural skills might become somewhat rusty. To counteract this, I concur with a previous respondent's suggestion to obtain a PRN bedside position.

Are you able to get a perdiem job in the hospital where you could work one shift a month?
Comment:
Keep in mind there is a huge difference between an hourly management position with a pay raise and a salaried management position with a "pay raise". At places where I've worked, a move to management usually means a pretty massive pay cut, since the pay rate is only a raise if you only work 40 hours/week, although in reality the expectation is closer to 60. Being on-call for staff shortages is also sort of a pain. We've got a rotating manager coverage for staffing who gives every manager 1 weekend off per month from being on call, which means you can only go out and have a glass of wine or beer once a month (I go out to eat more for a good IPA on tap than for the food).

Please explain the role of care management.
