Night Shift LTC

I have worked in LTC for over 13 years and you need to research the facilty you are going to be working in, I have worked for non profit and it has been great. They really take care of you and the residents. Nights has a lot of paper work but it can be a lot of fun. Choose your atitude the day you go in, take the attitude that you are hear for the residents. It is very much like a family, take the good with the bad and you will love it. Good luck and God bless.

if you go into it already having a negative attitude it won't work out. most places will give you orientation at least two weeks and more if needed. you need to research the facility you are interested. you need to want to do it for the residents. not all facilities are "greedy"
