Should a new grad start in ltc

Most new grads, or others for that matter, take jobs in ltc because they can't get hired elsewhere. It is better than being unemployed. Nothing stops you from continuing your job search and taking another job when it is offered. LTC connected to a hospital probably would afford an opportunity to transfer into one of the hospital departments at some point. Besides, you just might find that you enjoy working with the ltc population. Give it a try. Good luck with your job hunt.
