a little intro about me....i am starting a concurrent associate/bsn program in august and right now i am doing a cna course at my community college. initially, my thought was to do the course during the summer, get my certification, and then be able to work part time somewhere while i'm in school; if i can.
today was my 3rd day of clinicals at an ltc facility. last week i was in long term care and this week i am in sub-acute (rehab) side. i honestly don't know if working with geriatric patients is my calling. i'm not sure if it is because i dislike the cna tasks so much that my feelings are skewed or that i am just more interested in working with other populations....
i don't know i am worried that i may not be a good nurse because i don't really like working with the geriatric population.
next week i will be starting volunteer work at my local hospital in the nicu and maternal/child health sections. i am really excited because i have always been interested in these fields.
has anyone else felt this way? do you think i can still be a good nurse if i don't necessarily enjoy working with geriatrics???
