I work in an assisted living area of lg. complex. I used to work in the health center (sub-acute area). I never thought I would like it as much as I do. The press comes down really hard on nursing Home horror stories, but there are some good ones out there! I think the experience would be great for you. If there is a place your interested in...go visit. What I have done in the past is to just go there & see for yourself. Just by observing one can usually tell if a facility is well run, and the residents taken care of. I have just walked in as if I am there to visit a resident, or made an appt. to take a tour. Try to catch staff upon leaving, and get their input. I wish you the best in your Nurs. program. If you love the elderly and respect them, you will do well.
just needing a couple of answers
