New Grad Do Quality Assurance?

Rating:
(votes: 0)


I'm a brand new grad. Job prospects in my area are bad. I do, however, have a connection with a long-term care facility that wants to interview me for a Quality Assurance position (in part bc I have a Masters in Administration in addition to the RN). My intention was never to go straight into that type of role, though I'm pretty scared of being a new nurse too. I'm going to go for the interview to see what it's all about, but if I get and take the position, am I making it harder for myself to get a job on a hospital floor later? A lot harder?
This is just my opinion but I would think that the longer you are away from the bedside, the harder to get back in. That applies as a new grad as well. I do think you will pigeonhole yourself into an administrative role. But, QA is of the utmost importance! Reimbursement drives patient care and I think the need in those roles will become crucial to any facility! Good luck!

I was offered a QA job 7 months after being a RN. I declined. You need experience to review charts, question nursing practice, and etc. jmo
